Yeah, I "cheated" by using the forums a lot when I was going through Project Euler, too. One thing that helped me to understand different approaches was to write any solution that worked, and then benchmark my solution against all of the other submissions in my language of choice (Ruby at the time). There are so many other sites about learning to code, reviewing answers in the forums is kind of like giving yourself the lecture with content, and then you go do the real homework somewhere else. It doesn't matter how you learn it, as long as the learning sticks!
