@Euler:
I periodically update the complete problem list, since the site tends to be down when I don't remember precisely one problem statement and this usually makes me want to throw the computer out of the window...
So I usually print the complete problems list in pdf and keep it within my p.e. folder, just in case I need it.
The intersting thing is to print the list when a new problem is going to come out and there's the warning: "new problem will be released on ...", since the "print version" of the page (http://projecteuler.net/print.php?id=all) seems not to worry about displaying unreleased problems.
I checked it yesterday and woohoo, p166 was there, so I've been able to solve it ahead of time!
It took me 25 minutes to get the answer (thanking the fact that I solved a slightly harder version of this problem on bright-shadows.net - programming section - some years ago), so today I submitted my result 25 minutes after the problem was released.
The "complete problems list" page is working good though, so you might wanna fix the print version. (and check print.php?id=problemid too)
Apart from that, thank you to keep providing us with nice problems!
Cheers,
sfabriz

Re: Cool bug
Very decent of you to wait 25 minutes before posting your answer; I'm not sure that I'd have been so honest!
How did you save off the whole set of problems as a PDF file? I'd like to be able to do that too.

Re: Cool bug
there are several free programs that you can install like a printer and that print to pdf.
The one I use is: pdf brewer http://www.cib.de/

Re: Cool bug
Thanks for bringing that to my attention, sfabriz. I'd be sacked if this was my real job! 
Anyway I've fixed it now. Cheers.

@ er_d:
I personally have always used pdfcreator (with ghostscript), which installs a pdf printer on the pc and lets you print also .ps (and many more) files. It has some issues with vista though, so I tried a bunch of other printers and the winner is Bullzip pdf printer.
Both of them are competely free of course.
@ Euler:
You're totally welcome. Also I must say that you've done a really nice work with the site, expecially considering that this is not your job. It looks nice and works good. I assure you, this was a tricky bug to find out, because it presents itself just when a new problem is in the queue and at release time it disappears, because then the problem has the rights to be accessible. Bugs like these are really painful!
