2,4,8,6,2,4,8,6,etc. 3,9,7,1,3,9,7,1, etc. Using Mod, We have 6 and 1 as the remainders for 2 ^100 and 3 ^ 100 respectively. Thus, 6 divide 5, has a remainder of 1. In conclusion, 1 + 1 = 2 There's tons of these problems in Competitive Math, some easy point takers for me :D
erm wait no... lemme figure this out... so right... it's log(x^(log 2)) aka log x to the log 2 power
In case additional confirmation is needed, I can assure you that this is correct. Now... sorry to bother with a trifling, simple math problem — algebraic combination, with factorials and all that jazz — but can someone check if my work is correct? A couple of my classmates were thinking that I did a step or two incorrectly...

It may not look as pleasant when typed out rather than written by hand, but hopefully someone can decipher it.
Yep, that looks correct. Oh, and the above problem was an original one.
If you're wondering what level the problem's around, I like to do mid-AIME to USAMO and beyond, so I'm guessing this might be late-AIME to early USAMO, but I'm not a judge of this.
What math competitions will you guys be attending this year?
How can use the Haversine formula with longitude and latitude, to get points from a 50 mile radius from a database, and find the angle of the point in relationship to the origin?

xD Let's say I have 2 points on a coordinate plane. One is at the origin (0, 0), and the other one is at, say, (10, 7). If I were to draw a line between the 2 points, and calculate the angle between the positive side of the Y-axis and the line, clockwise, how would I do that?
A good, extremely hard problem I worked on a few days ago:
An matrix whose entries come from the set is called a silver matrix if, for each , the -th row and the -th column together contain all elements of . Show that silver matrices exist for infinitely many values of . (1997 IMO, #4 part (b))
Not really a math problem, but I think it fits here :D.
In the night, four people need to cross a bridge. One person crosses in 1 minute, another in 2 minutes, another in 5 minutes, and the last in 10. At most, the bridge can only hold 2 people at a time, and when said people cross, they must go at the slower persons' pace. In addition, there must be a person that crosses back in order to hand the flashlight back to the other group. What is the order in which they cross for all of them to reach the other side in 17 minutes?

Let's say person 1 crosses in 1 minute, person 2 crosses in 2 minutes, person 3 crosses in 5, and person 4 crosses in 10. 1 and 2 cross. 1 goes back. 3 and 4 cross. 2 goes back. 1 and 2 cross.
This is a pretty famous problem. It's not exactly a math problem, but it's more of a logic puzzle, so also partially a math problem :D
