Euler problems/51 to 60

Problem 51

    print $ length wins

Problem 55

Solution:

reverseNum = read . reverse . show
 
palindrome x =
    sx == reverse sx
    where
    sx = show x 

lychrel = 
    not . any palindrome . take 50 . tail . iterate next

Problem 58

Investigate the number of primes that lie on the diagonals of the spiral grid.

Solution:

isPrime x

Problem 59

Using a brute force attack, can you decrypt the cipher using XOR encryption?

Solution:

import Data.Bits
import Data.Char
import Data.List

Problem 60

Find a set of five primes for which any two primes concatenate to produce another prime.

Solution:

Breadth first search that works on infinite lists. Breaks the 60 secs rule. This program finds the solution in 185 sec on my Dell D620 Laptop.

problem_60 = print$sum $head solve 
isPrime x
    |x==3=True
    |otherwise=millerRabinPrimality x 2

 let m = f a $ dropWhile (<= a) primesTo10000
 b <- m
 let n = f b $ dropWhile (<= b) m
 c <- n
 let o = f c $ dropWhile (<= c) n
 d <- o
 let p = f d $ dropWhile (<= d) o
 e <- p
 return [a,b,c,d,e]
 where
 f x = filter (\y -> all id[isPrime $read $shows x $show y,
                 isPrime $read $shows y $show x])
