For the pi problem:

10**1000 == ?d**500

'downto' is to long

Oblongular Number Spirals:

well, recursion and rotation are the keys

I think the whole point of codegolf.com would
vanish if you paste code of one of the top tens
for each problem.

Perhaps they should open the code for all
challenges older than 8 weeks or so - but than
they have to freeze the scores at this point.

cheers
