There seems to be something quite dissatisfying about questions that simply copy/paste questions from Project Euler. For example:
Find the sum of all the multiples of 3 or 5 below 1000
From the Project Euler website:
I solved it by using a search engine, does that matter?
Making use of the internet to research a problem is to be encouraged as there could be hidden treasures of mathematics to be discovered beneath the surface of many of these problems. However, there is a fine line between researching ideas and using the answer you found on another website. If you photocopy a crossword solution then what have you achieved?
Secondly, once a question is answered a forum is presented which usually contains a long list of methods for solving the question in question.
So my feeling is that they do not want (more) answers to their problems posted online.
Any thoughts on how to best deal with this?
