Project Euler #13

It's been a while since I did one of the Project Euler problems.  And since a lot of my work recently has been fixing bugs and working on some design documents, I was itching to do some "real" coding.  So it's on to problem #13.

Work out the first ten digits of the sum of the following one-hundred 50-digit numbers.

It would be nice if I could have stuck all of those numbers in an integer and simply added them up, but they were too big for that.  The solution I came up with kind of feels like I cheated a bit, but it gives me the correct answer!  What I did was take the list of 50-digit numbers and stick a decimal point in the middle (at the 25th character).  This gives me a number that .NET's double data type can handle.  I just had to make sure I removed the decimal point before grabbing my answer.

So my final solution was:

   1: string[] numbers = {

   2:     // giant list of numbers from website clipped

   3:                    };

   4:  

   5: var list = from num in numbers

   6:            select double.Parse(num.Insert(25, "."));

   7:  

   8: var sum = list.Sum();

   9: string answer = sum.ToString().Replace(".", "").Substring(0, 10);
