Son of a...

Just solved problem 88, but it is tricky to get in decent runtime. Right now my best is only 14s. :(

EDIT: Oh FFS I am an idiot... much faster way to do this.

EDIT: 0.2 seconds -- can't believe I didn't do this in the first place.

Total time for problems 1 through 90: 28.940158 seconds

Re: The Project Euler thread

Up to Problem 96, aaaghghghgh Sudoku. Nope. Bedtime

edit: (jk 97, 99, and 100 are quickfodder -- 96 and 98 can diaf)

edit: actually 98 isn't horrible either

edit: GAURUATUGH FINE I'LL DO SUDOKU. :( going to write the most fucking messiest code in the universe

edit: Yay, first 100 down

OMG finally.

Re: The Project Euler thread

Wish people read my posts because I take extra time refining my code and explanations

As of now most of the posts I've made recently are still the very last post of each thread

Re: The Project Euler thread

I read them

I just don't have much to say lol

Re: The Project Euler thread

I'm talking about my posts in the euler problem threads btw, not this thread

Re: The Project Euler thread

OHHH

yeah it kinda sucks, cause nobody reads past the first three posts, let alone the first page

Re: The Project Euler thread

As 12 is the smallest abundant number, 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 = 16, the smallest number that can be written as the sum of two abundant numbers is 24. By mathematical analysis, it can be shown that all integers greater than 28123 can be written as the sum of two abundant numbers. However, this upper limit cannot be reduced any further by analysis even though it is known that the greatest number that cannot be expressed as the sum of two abundant numbers is less than this limit.

Finished problem 23 and it was an efficiency nightmare (i shud lrn 2 code b4tr)

Why do they pick 28,123 when the same is true for all numbers greater than 20,161?

I'm assuming this means that through conceptual analysis and proof, the lowest limit we can reduce down to is 28123. Even though the true limit is lower, this is the smallest upper bound we can actually prove in this way. If this is really true, I'm sure it's very well defined what they mean by "reduced any further by analysis". Clearly, brute force testing with a computer doesn't count.

Unless you're asking why the problem writer chose to use that number specifically, in which case I don't know and it's really the writer's free choice. Perhaps he just simply wanted an excuse to use larger numbers, despite the small increase. It does kinda make sense though; once you find the limit of your hand analysis, you have no choice but to use a computer, and only then can you reduce that limit. The problem probably wants to demonstrate an example of this.

I just tried this on my own and the 28123 limit is actually pretty easy to prove, and I really do have no idea how to get this down any lower.

I read them all (I scroll through the problem listings from time to time and check out new posts).

I just don't have much to add because I don't find those problems as interesting as some of the harder ones.

A comment though, I'm surprised about your approach to 181. That problems seems like it would have been really easy for you to hammer out and execute in quick runtime.


edit: Stargroup: Yes that's right -- in practice it's lower but the limit is analytically provable. Here is the proof: http://mathschallenge.net/full/sum_o...undant_numbers

oh shit that's the method I came up with LOL
