I'm on this new kick, see above. (and none of my facebook friends seem to care)
I was all excited when my correct but primitive algorithmic solution to Project Euler's Problem 5 finished executing last night (it only took 27 hours to compute in 15 y/o computer running "G-code". Then I found out; you don't even need a computer to solve the problem, now I feel dumb.
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?"
If you can find the answer with or with out programing for it, please don't post the solution, or code you used. It goes against their user policy.
