I just finished my first exercise and helped spread the word with my own blog. Awesome stuff. Thanks for the great lead on Project Euler.

The real problems, at the end, proved a lot of time consuming for me and most of my friends :) What the site lacks is a list on the references - to give an idea of how each problem originated and what we could use to solve them. Not direct clues or solutions (I resisted the temptation to look up clues in google, but I'm sure there should be many). Tested it and looks fun.

The knowledge needed to solve most of the Euler problems relies on far more than simple common sense, and it's very tough for someone without a large math background to tackle most of the problems.

But that misses the whole point of the exercise. The premise behind the whole site is to come up with your own solutions. Online solutions to some of the problems exist if you search for them.

Here is a blog that posts many solutions, especially to some of the harder ones. http://blog.mycila.com/search/label/projecteuler They are fun challenges.
