Who returns, Project Euler?
Neither the news page, nor the "about" page, nor the front page of "Project Euler" care to explain what this website is all about. Of course, I can guess that it has to do with mathematical problems of some sort.
It is sad if you have to turn to Wikipedia to find out the basic details about a website. A sentence or two of introduction would have made everything better :-)
- ohitsdom 12y agoAgreed, I had never heard of it and the about page was no help at all.
- gknoy 12y agoOn the off chance that other comments here haven't made it clear what it's about, or that you haven't already looked it up, they apparently have a Wikipedia article about them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Euler http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Euler """ Project Euler (named after Leonhard Euler) is a website dedicated to a series of computational problems intended to be solved with computer programs.... Problems are of varying difficulty but each is solvable in less than a minute using an efficient algorithm on a modestly powered computer. A forum specific to each question may be viewed after the user has correctly answered the given question. """ There are also several Github repos out there that have both the problems and hashes of the answers. (Some have the actual answers, as well, or used to in the git history, but presumably anyone interested in solving the problems is more interested in the process than the score.)
- doodpants 12y agoThe site used to have a front page that clearly explained what it was all about. I assume that it will be restored along with the rest of the functionality on Saturday.
