Be a nerd, win a game!

Bah, wrote a VB.NET console program in 20 seconds and did this. Simple enough. Originally did this in GWBASIC but due to the super-old nature of GWBASIC it refused to accept an integer the size of 23961491 so I had to resort to VB.NET :<

I was bored so I did some highly circuitous Java to do it. I'm sure there are better ways of doing it, but I couldn't be bothered to think of them. Eratosthenes' Sieve plus some division worked well enough for me though.

You have to love those old pascal programs from programming labs, I knew it would be usefull someday :D

44 accepted solutions up to now.
I'll stop* the challenge once we hit 101 (prime).

I'm just gonna bump this, in case anyone else wants to join. :3

Not interested in a game but might try with a riddle later. Thanks!

sent you an email. :) Thanks for creating this giveaway, bro.

May just do this the old fashioned way, knowing nothing about programming as I do.

Math? Aw hell naw I'm outta here

Just sent a solution. I've never been good in creating algorithms, but had to try :D . Unfortunately, I found a better way to do this after sending e-mail :/ .

Edit: I also sent the better solution. I think it's not a problem ;) .

Neat contest. If you didn't have any crappy Python-based solutions yet, you do now.

Having people do your homework to win a game? Priceless.

For a programmer it is a simple problem, I brute forced it in python to get the answer. My original program took about 3 seconds to run, so I optimized it a bit and now it runs in about 0.03 seconds.

Hmm, my highly circuitous Java method takes on average 0.9322 seconds for the value 23961491. I suspect most of that is generating the list of prime numbers up to 1/2 n. >_>

Giveaway ends tomorrow. Just saying.

Giveaway is over, congratulations to Papercrane!
