Project Euler Forum

Hi,

I'm new to the forum so I hope not to break any rules. If I understand it correctly it is strictly forbidden to publish solutions to the problems except for the first 100. I was discussing a problem with a friend of mine that does not participate, and he got interested and pointed me to https://github.com/roosephu/project-euler and that this guy had a better solution. This is a public github repo with many solutions published. Just wanted to let you know. I take a lot of time and effort solving these problems and I don't like it that others can just copy some code from github and fill in the answer...

Kind regards and thank you for this project, it's amazing!

Although it is forbidden to publish solutions of problems with an ID larger than 100 some people do.
Like it is forbidden to drive too fast or to drive intoxicated or to kill someone

I do not want to post a link, but now there are websites out there that not only give answers to all of the Project Euler problems, but also full explanations of the solutions and code. My guess is that GenAI was probably used to solve the problems and generate the code. Given that Project Euler has significantly reduced the competitive aspect of Project Euler (since some members were using GenAI to get onto the leaderboard). From an educational point-of-view GenAI is amazing. Here is an example from Edward De Bono, given that different people have different capacities to run (say 100m dash or a marathon); if you teach all of these people how to skate, then all of them would go much further than they went before. Similarly, if we judiciously use GenAI then we could go much further on Project Euler than before. On my own over the past 10 years, I might have solved roughly 425 Project Euler problems with some Internet help (no GenAI). I think with GenAI and the resources now available on the Internet, I should be able to go much further. For someone solving problems without collaborators, GenAI is a big help. In all, even with all solutions available online, Project Euler is still a good place to learn some mathematics and computing.
