7. Project Euler: Problem 43

   Project Euler is a set of mathematical challenges that a well-written program running on a modest computer should be able to solve in under a minute, which I thought might be interesting to pass a little time with every now and again.

8. At Last A Real-World Use For Those Geometry Lessons

   School children often complain that what they’re learning will be of no use to them in the real world. Even I did occasionally. But I’ve finally found a real-world use for some of the geometry at least: in redecoration.
