Beginning Python 2.x users are going to be confused by slide 2, which says that division produces floats. Not in my Python they don't!

Even though I know python fairly decently, I found working on Project Euler problems improved my Python skills a lot - in particular, I had not had much awareness, nor need for the 'yield' command, but I ended up using it a lot on

Make sure you are in a quiet room (with the AC off). It worked for me on a Macbook retina, but started to fail when the AC turned on.

I've been making these for a long time. One of my favorites is (x XOR y) MOD 3 != 0 ((x ^ y) % 3) != 0 Other primes like 5 and 7 look interesting as well.

Cool service, but the pricing is insanely high. My piddly website gets 100k uniques a month, which would cost $600 to track. Kraaaazy.
