So I was thinking, we should have a challenge of the day or week,
for a specific language, that poses a unique problem. This way people can practice, and others can learn maybe something new from someone else's idea. What do you guys think ? For example in our
C++ section, we can have a C++ challenge question. And people can participate in it. I know I would like to know other people solutions
to a problem. That way it will help me think in different ways.

Go ahead and try to solve this euler problem, if u can. Check with me for hints and answers. Good Luck Solved by:tux4life, zalezog, "your name here";

I think this is a great idea especially since I love challenges. It will also encourage people to get more familiar with programming in general. The challenges need to be simple, not too complex so that someone new to the language can jump in.

Don't make it too simple, because it's only fun if we need to bend our brains a bit.
I don't really feel like making the n-gazillion'st palindrome-finder for example.

I'd be up for it come the new year. Any chance to make myself a better programmer.

too...lol.
I guess I could make a thread or two. But eventually we need some
rotation going around. I though maybe some mods, could make
a special thread or something?

Yeah same, and i think that the problem should be the same throughout all programming languages. That way you can compare how other languages do it.
Also, it would be fun if you could nominate yourself to make the problem of the week, that way we could all get a turn at some point

Make it idiot-proof, and someone will just make a better idiot

All well and good, but does anybody actually have any great problem ideas to fit all these criterias?

Well. . even among the dedicated members, there is a lot of variation in skill here. Wouldn't it be better to have 3 different levels, similar to Sane's challenge at Daniweb's sister site, PFO?
