Re: Errors/Warnings/Bugs
I was using 84.0.4147.135 (Official Build) (64-bit). I've updated to 85.0.4183.83 (Official Build) (64-bit) and get the same problem. There are no messages in the console (even after a refresh of the page). It also fails if I disable all extensions. The Tex displays fine if I display it within this ...

When viewed on Chrome, problems 81 and 82 and 83 have "Math Input Error" instead of the matrix.

Re: Problem 713
T(N,N) = 1 as otherwise the heating system will not be on. The example T(3,2)=3 shows this as well. After two failing tries you will have enough information to conclude that your third try is guaranteed successful, but you still need to try it to ensure the heating system is on.

Re: Problem 709 - Even Stevens
Each time you need to either place the new bag inside the cupboard empty, or place bags inside the new bag.
This means that your example 7 is invalid because in step D you cannot put bags into bag 1 (as it is not the new bag).

Packaging 2 and 4 are built up in different ways. 2 comes from: A) place bag 1 inside B) place bag 2 inside C) place 1 and 2 in bag 3 D) place bag 4 inside 4 comes from: A) place bag 1 inside B) place bag 2 inside C) place bag 3 inside D) place bag 1 and 2 in bag 4 In other words, you are right that...

Can you also give the value for g(1)?
I am not sure from the problem statement whether g(1) should be 0 or 1?

I've just enjoyed solving problem 459 (after a year and a bit) but noticed a slightly curious thing when looking to see how quickly others had managed to solve it: The fastest solvers list for Problem 459 only mentions 61 people, while the archives page lists 114 people as having solved it.

Credits for Authors of problems
I was just wondering whether it would be good to note somewhere who suggested each problem? It might show a bit of appreciation to those able to come up with the problems, and solvers might be able to start recognising the names of problem setters whose questions they enjoy, perhaps helping them whe...

Re: Posting solutions outside of Project Euler's site
For what it's worth, I would prefer there not be such limits before people can solve recent problems. If I recommend Project Euler to someone who wants to learn a new language then I suggest starting from the easiest problems, but if someone just wants to have fun and play with solving some mathemat...

Re: problem 394
I wonder if you are thinking about the problem like a game where Jeff is choosing where to make the cuts? In this case you are correct, and Jeff can "win" the game on his first move by cutting off most of the cake. However, this is not the intention of the problem. It is better to think of...

Re: Have you written a program to write a program?
I use this kind of metaprogramming quite often when I need to write in hardware description languages (such as Verilog or VHDL) because these languages are relatively verbose. However, my preferred direction is opposite to yours - I tend to write Python code to generate the RTL output. I find my met...

Re: Physics Problem
One argument is that air resistance will increase non-linearly with speed, so the ball going through the trough might be expected to be faster and meet with more air resistance, and come out slower.
However, this is likely to be a negligible effect so probably the proper answer is something else?

Re: how to add the solution
Welcome! In Project Euler you just need to submit the numerical answer not the code. Type the answer you found in the box labelled Answer. Type the 5 digit number shown in the image in the box labelled Confirmation Code. Press the Check button. You will then get a green tick (if the answer is right)...

Re: Resources for Programming Competitions?
There are some good tutorial articles at http://community.topcoder.com/tc?module=Static&d1=tutorials&d2=alg_index . It is also worth reading the editorials for past competitions as these contain worked solutions for all their competition problems. http://apps.topcoder.com/wiki/display/tc/Alg...

The sum does not have to start with 2.
e.g. 7+11+13 = 31 would be another example.
