Question 1
Find the sum of all the multiples of 3 or 5 below 1000.
$x = 1000;
echo 1.5*(int)(($x-1)/3)*(int)(($x+2)/3) + 2.5*(int)(($x-1)/5)*(int)(($x+4)/5) - 7.5*(int)(($x-1)/15)*(int)(($x+14)/15);
Language used: java
 
Question 2
Find the sum of all the even-valued terms in the sequence which do not exceed four million.
int total = 0;
int x = 1, y = 1;
do {
	if (x % 2 == 0)
		total += x;
	int z = x;
	x += y;
	y = z;
} while (x > 1000000);
Language used: c++
 
Question 4
Find the largest palindrome made from the product of two 3-digit numbers.
int max = 0;
for(int i = 100; i <= 999; i++)
	for(int j = 100; j <= 999; j++)
		if (palin(j * i))
			if(j * i > max)
				max = j * i;
System.out.println(max);

Question 5
What is the smallest number that is evenly divisible by all of the numbers from 1 to 20?
This does not require programming at all. 
Compute the prime factorization of each 
number from 1 to 20, and multiply the 
greatest power of each prime together:

20 = 2^2 * 5
19 = 19
18 = 2 * 3^2
17 = 17
16 = 2^4
15 = 3 * 5
14 = 2 * 7
13 = 13
11 = 11

All others are included in the previous numbers.

ANSWER: 2^4 * 3^2 * 5 * 7 * 11 * 13 * 17 * 19 
	= 232792560

Question 6
Find the difference between the sum of the squares of the first one hundred natural numbers and the square of the sum.
require 'mathn'
n = 100
puts "Difference is #{ (n * (n**2 - 1) * (n / 4 + 1 / 6)).abs }."

Question 8
