Project Euler Forum

I could solve 15~20 problems in a day between prob1 and prob100 but as the number increases, I can't solve as many as I could anymore

Today I saw a fabulous user in project euler. She seems like a problem solving machine.
She solved 152 problems at am 9:00(GMT+9) today, but her profile shows that she has just solved 15 more problems within 2 hours. So she solved 167 problems at am 11:00(GMT+9) now.
(For information, she solved about 120 problems yesterday night.. stalking is sometimes funny)

I have seen a lot of smart people because I have some experiences about programming competition (not world class, but national class), but seeing these type of people(superfast solver) is first. There are so many amzaing people in the world and sometimes I'm frustrated about it.

sometimes I'm frustrated about it

You should definitely not be frustrated. I'm certain that there are much less than 1 person in a million on this planet that could achieve what you have done. You should be proud of yourself instead. Simply keep enjoying Project Euler.

Wow she has just solved 183 problems now. Were there any people like her in project euler before this?

We will be welcoming him/her when all problems have been solved . (even the last 44)

/Afk; making an alt to solve 226 problems in 30 minutes...

Edit: Also, don't feel bad about taking a while to solve the later problems. You're still miles & miles ahead of most other people just for the fact that you -can- solve these problems. Personally, I know that eventually I'll be able to solve each problem in time, but I've still encountered some that have lasted well over 1-2 weeks to solve (I'm looking at you 177 and 184!!). Just relax and enjoy the challenge is my goal .
