Problem 1
=========
If we list all the natural numbers below 10 that are multiples of 3 or 5,
we get 3, 5, 6 and 9. The sum of these multiples is 23.
Find the sum of all the multiples of 3 or 5 below 1000.
Answer: e1edf9d1967ca96767dcc2b2d6df69f4
Problem 2
=========
Each new term in the Fibonacci sequence is generated by adding the
previous two terms. By starting with 1 and 2, the first 10 terms will be:
1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, ...
By considering the terms in the Fibonacci sequence whose values do not
exceed four million, find the sum of the even-valued terms.
Answer: 4194eb91842c8e7e6df099ca73c38f28
Problem 3
=========
The prime factors of 13195 are 5, 7, 13 and 29.
What is the largest prime factor of the number 600851475143 ?
Answer: 94c4dd41f9dddce696557d3717d98d82
Problem 4
=========
A palindromic number reads the same both ways. The largest palindrome made
from the product of two 2-digit numbers is 9009 = 91 × 99.
Find the largest palindrome made from the product of two 3-digit numbers.
Answer: d4cfc27d16ea72a96b83d9bdef6ce2ec
Problem 5
=========
2520 is the smallest number that can be divided by each of the numbers
from 1 to 10 without any remainder.
What is the smallest positive number that is evenly divisible by all of
the numbers from 1 to 20?
Answer: bc0d0a22a7a46212135ed0ba77d22f3a
Problem 6
=========
The sum of the squares of the first ten natural numbers is,
1^2 + 2^2 + ... + 10^2 = 385
The square of the sum of the first ten natural numbers is,
(1 + 2 + ... + 10)^2 = 55^2 = 3025
Hence the difference between the sum of the squares of the first ten
natural numbers and the square of the sum is 3025 − 385 = 2640.
Find the difference between the sum of the squares of the first one
hundred natural numbers and the square of the sum.
Answer: 867380888952c39a131fe1d832246ecc
Problem 7
=========
By listing the first six prime numbers: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13, we can see
that the 6th prime is 13.
What is the 10 001st prime number?
Answer: 8c32ab09ec0210af60d392e9b2009560
Problem 8
=========

Problem 9
=========
A Pythagorean triplet is a set of three natural numbers, a < b < c, for
which,
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
For example, 3^2 + 4^2 = 9 + 16 = 25 = 5^2.
There exists exactly one Pythagorean triplet for which a + b + c = 1000.
Find the product abc.

Problem 12
==========
The sequence of triangle numbers is generated by adding the natural
numbers. So the 7^th triangle number would be 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 =
28. The first ten terms would be:
1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45, 55, ...
Let us list the factors of the first seven triangle numbers:
1: 1
3: 1,3
6: 1,2,3,6
10: 1,2,5,10
15: 1,3,5,15
21: 1,3,7,21
28: 1,2,4,7,14,28
We can see that 28 is the first triangle number to have over five
divisors.
What is the value of the first triangle number to have over five hundred
divisors?

Problem 14
==========
The following iterative sequence is defined for the set of positive
integers:
n → n/2 (n is even)
n → 3n + 1 (n is odd)
Using the rule above and starting with 13, we generate the following
sequence:
13 → 40 → 20 → 10 → 5 → 16 → 8 → 4 → 2 → 1
It can be seen that this sequence (starting at 13 and finishing at 1)
contains 10 terms. Although it has not been proved yet (Collatz Problem),
it is thought that all starting numbers finish at 1.
Which starting number, under one million, produces the longest chain?
NOTE: Once the chain starts the terms are allowed to go above one million.

Answer: 6a5889bb0190d0211a991f47bb19a777
Problem 17
==========
If the numbers 1 to 5 are written out in words: one, two, three, four,
five, then there are 3 + 3 + 5 + 4 + 4 = 19 letters used in total.
If all the numbers from 1 to 1000 (one thousand) inclusive were written
out in words, how many letters would be used?
NOTE: Do not count spaces or hyphens. For example, 342 (three hundred and
forty-two) contains 23 letters and 115 (one hundred and fifteen) contains
20 letters. The use of "and" when writing out numbers is in compliance
with British usage.

Problem 21
==========
Let d(n) be defined as the sum of proper divisors of n (numbers less than
n which divide evenly into n).
If d(a) = b and d(b) = a, where a ≠ b, then a and b are an amicable pair
and each of a and b are called amicable numbers.
For example, the proper divisors of 220 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 11, 20, 22,
44, 55 and 110; therefore d(220) = 284. The proper divisors of 284 are 1,
2, 4, 71 and 142; so d(284) = 220.
Evaluate the sum of all the amicable numbers under 10000.

Using [1]names.txt, a 46K text file containing over five-thousand first
names, begin by sorting it into alphabetical order. Then working out the
alphabetical value for each name, multiply this value by its alphabetical
position in the list to obtain a name score.
For example, when the list is sorted into alphabetical order, COLIN, which
is worth 3 + 15 + 12 + 9 + 14 = 53, is the 938th name in the list. So,
COLIN would obtain a score of 938 × 53 = 49714.

Problem 23
==========
A perfect number is a number for which the sum of its proper divisors is
exactly equal to the number. For example, the sum of the proper divisors
of 28 would be 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14 = 28, which means that 28 is a perfect
number.
A number n is called deficient if the sum of its proper divisors is less
than n and it is called abundant if this sum exceeds n.
As 12 is the smallest abundant number, 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 = 16, the
smallest number that can be written as the sum of two abundant numbers is
24. By mathematical analysis, it can be shown that all integers greater
than 28123 can be written as the sum of two abundant numbers. However,
this upper limit cannot be reduced any further by analysis even though it
is known that the greatest number that cannot be expressed as the sum of
two abundant numbers is less than this limit.
Find the sum of all the positive integers which cannot be written as the
sum of two abundant numbers.

Euler discovered the remarkable quadratic formula:
n² + n + 41
It turns out that the formula will produce 40 primes for the consecutive
values n = 0 to 39. However, when n = 40, 40^2 + 40 + 41 = 40(40 + 1) + 41
is divisible by 41, and certainly when n = 41, 41² + 41 + 41 is clearly
divisible by 41.
The incredible formula n² − 79n + 1601 was discovered, which produces 80
primes for the consecutive values n = 0 to 79. The product of the
coefficients, −79 and 1601, is −126479.
