Project Euler doesn't do certificates, but if you want to work through some
of them I'd be happy to draw something up and send you a PDF ;-)

Seriously -- I've solved about 80 of them, and although they start fairly
simple, they are a serious challenge after the first handful. The site
doesn't cover all use cases by any stretch, but there's no doubt that it's
a serious test. I had to write my own large integer arithmetic routines in
LC to solve some that involve 20+ digit numbers.
