Part of me learning to code was by going through the challenges on Project Euler and I always get a sense of nostalgia when reading about it.

It is a pity it keeps getting hacked. I think that the site owners are more interested in algorithms and mathematics than mundane engineering. It would probably be a good idea to open source the site.

I can't imagine the rationale for hacking projecteuler in the first place. Always a favorite place of mine as well and I still bring newbies to the scene there when I attempt to show them the basics of programming. I guess there's just an asshole for everything when you have hundreds of millions of people online these days. Sucks a bit doesn't it?
