I sorted the problems by difficulty, and I'm up to the math, mostly.
But the hardest problem is 177, and I see no way to handle it without
floating point. Even then it is ugly to decide that a number is an
exact integer because it is fp within 10-9 of an integer.

I have solved 5 now. In fact 6 because I have written a sudoku
solver. Just have to run the 50 problems through it.
