Re: [Haskell-cafe] simple state monad exercises? (besides labeling trees)

I used the State monad to implement a Brainfuck [1] interpreter a few months ago. It stored the program counter, pointer and the memory of the machine. There might have been a different (better?) way, but as I was trying to learn more about monads, it was an obvious choice.

Can someone give some simple common scenarios where the state monad is useful, besides labeling trees?

References to puzzles like those in project Euler or similar would be nice.
