There is a google billboard that encodes a puzzle in a URL:

{first 10-digit prime found in consecutive digits of e}.com

While you can now solve this puzzle by googling, you learn more by actually solving it.  Here i use a spigot algorithm to compute digits of e one at a time:

I've been able to confirm 17000 digits in about 3 hours of cpu time.
