Most of them don't require lengthy computation, but some of them did for me. I know at least some of the time that's because I didn't know enough math, but sometimes I had the same algorithm as the other people in the solution thread but with much slower runtimes. I think numpy gives a bigger speedup than PyPy for a lot of the problems.

PyPy won't change your data structures and algorithms, so it's not finding mathematical insight.

Yes that’s the point I was making. Maybe you intended your comment to be a sibling to mine.

It seems that you're saying that I should be finding mathematical insight instead of using PyPy, while xapata is saying that if my code runs fast in PyPy then I've already found enough mathematical insight.

More likely I missed your point.
