I used to solve a lot of project euler puzles earlier. Definitely some great puzzles, but keep in mind that most of these won't challenge you as a programmer, but rather as a mathematician.
Most of the puzzles at euler are fairly simple to code if you just brute force them, but the real challenge is in getting to run them as fast as possible, which more often than not, requires mathematical optimizations on paper before you get down to coding.
