Hi Xan, I’m so sorry to hear about Willow. She was a wonderful dog. It is so hard to lose a loved pet. I will be thinking of you. And give Bonnie my love too.

I know what you mean, but in the past year or so there has been an effort to mix up the problem difficulty, including a recent batch of five easier problems, 203 - 207.

I loved Project Euler at first, and I solved about 80 problems. But then they all seemed to get too hard. I think it is a pitty that they do not offer a mixture of easy and hard problems. It would be good if there was a forum where subtle hints could be given for the more difficult problems, but the Euler forum is only open to those who have alreday solved the problem. I have reluctantly given up.

So that’s grade inflation I keep hearing about? (My 1st grader son gets graded on a binary scale).

When you say “average” I guess you meant weighted average? Why not harmonic, geometric, etc.?

The Ashe-Jones family extends their sympathy to you. We thought Willow was pretty awesome and think you captured her essence nicely in the photos above … especially in the one with her on her back.

We all have our eccentricities, but I can’t believe you used polynomial constant parameters in Fermat’s (probabilistic) Method, which everyone who’s anyone restricts to at least two divisions near the square root of N!!! I have been tentative about posting my Rho code, and this certainly demonstrates why. Didn’t George Bush use “some fancy number theory”? Have you no morals?

It’s back to e-bay for me - *someone* has to protect this country.

Willow was a beautiful golden and obviously very well loved and cared for!! Our pets leave footprints on our hearts and we carry their memories with us forever. I”m very sorry for your loss. Your tribute is very touching.
