I just solved problems 17 and 79 and have done 17/262 now.

102 is still elusive lol (Holly and I were having trouble with it).

Project Euler rocks! Shame i'm so bad at maths...

And as for Dink and I having a hard time... Dink did all the work, i just copy and pasted! I have only solved one Problem on my own, and forgot which one that was.

Problem 12 isn't easy. I am having trouble coming up with an efficient algorithim (I have an algorithim it is just too slow).

Plus, I just realized that BASIC is only using one of my CPU's. It turns out it is not multi-threaded!!!

If you've got more than 8 consecutive 'if' statements, no it's not very efficient.

And not multi-threaded... That's what you get with language implementations made by hobbyists! Funnily i was going to suggest threading the program, but then i realised you have no stdlib with support for Threads! I started tinkering with threading last night with Python, havent'y really thought of a practical use yet. However i might have another go at my IM server/client again, using threads so the console doesn't block.

One tip for optimizing code: Optimize the code! Like in Python, use % string formatting instead of + concatenation. Not sure if that would help though, not knowing the language and all.
