Time limit for solvers
Posted: Sun Jul 04, 2010 12:43 am
Dear Project Euler team,
I am new to the Project Euler main problem web site. Since I have been programming for more then 25 years now, I have accumulated a bit of a personal program library with number theory functions etc. So I managed to solve 24 problems within a couple of hours. That is when I hit the time limit for solvers. I can't understand why I am now being "punished" for solving problems precisely and efficiently (quickly). I have never cheated in any way, all programs are self-developed.
This time limit definitely is a sure way to frustrate quick problem solvers.
Regards,
