I don’t really have anything more to say about Project Euler, but I am quite pleased with myself for having unlocked the second progress award.

I can now claim to be a Python programming Mathematical Decathlete and the 14170th person to unlock this achievement.

I have to admit that my maths were more than a little rusty when I started having a go at these problems but, in figuring out how best to attack these problems, I have both remembered and learned a huge amount. I have also, over the past few weeks, gained a much greater appreciation of just how elegant many mathematical concepts can be.
