Maybe it is not very thematic question in here, but I guess it will be interesting not only to me. I hope.

So, I just want to get some cool tasks to do using programming languages or just pen and sheet of paper. I guess it can lead to improving my ability to do better code (more optimal I mean.)

Do you know any websites where I can find it?

Thanks.

Is Programming == Math?
