Let be the number that consists of 61 consecutive 3's, so . Let be the number that consists of 62 consecutive 6's, so . What is the digit sum of ?
Details and assumptions
The digit sum of a number is the sum of all its digits. For example the digit sum of 1123 is .
Let be a polynomial with nonnegative integer coefficients. If and , what is
You have a weighing balance, which you can place weights on both sides of. You need to measure all weights between 1 and 1000.
For example if you have weights 1 and 3, you can measure test objects of weights 1, 3 or 4. You can also measure objects of weight 2, by placing 3 on one side and 1 on the side which contain the object to be weighed.
What is the minimum number of weights that you would need to be able to measure all (integral) weights from 1 kg to 1000 kg?
Calvin went to a newly discovered planet called "Pandora" to research their advancements in the field of Mathematics. He found the following equation scrawled in the dust:
Can you help Calvin in finding the base, which is used in the Number System on Pandora?
Note: Symbols for digits in the Pandora System and Decimal system have the same value. e.g. 6 in Pandora represents six.
