Cool bug

@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,
