Recently I listened to a recommendation from a friend of mine and went to the site linked to in this post. What I found was a nice collection of tasks which involve smart use of programming and mathematics. So if you like both of those, you should take this as a challenge and solve some tasks.
So, fellow programming escapists... how many have you solved yet? I reached level 1 yesterday (25+ problems solved)
Warning: these tasks may or may not have a tendency to keep you awake at night or make you space out in random places because you just figured out how to solve an ultra-hard task.
Edit: additional challenge: do problem 97 [http://projecteuler.net/index.php?section=problems&id=97] in one easily readable line of code (max one semi-colon if it is required to end a line). It also must complete within two secs. You're also not allowed to use any sort of filter-functions found in Mathematica.
