Help solve the 8 Queens problem for absurdly large boardsizes.  I've got
nonexhaustive (but representative) solution sets up to 3500x3500 so far
using a genetic algorithm, but there shouldn't be a real limit. 
Exhaustive solution sets are a much larger pain (O(6^N) or so).

Or if you want to have useful fun, try to solve problems using neural
nets.  Got one going now that trains in about a week between 16 450MHz
UltraSparc CPU's (gradient backpropagation, 16-way annealing).  Figures
out clothing fashionability, of all things.
