Problem secret

Post by hidesugar »

The fifth bonus problem has the problem statement provided as an image. This is a big disadvantage for people who read the problem statement using machine translation or LLM.
- Do you have any plans to provide the problem statement as text (e.g. in alt)?
- Do you have any thoughts about providing translations of this problem (bonus problem) on language wiki?

(I CAN read problem statement now, but when I first started Euler 10 years ago, I couldn't read statement in English.)

Hmm, because of the give your answer modulo 7 part, it would be easy to produce variants of the image in any language. Idk how simple that would be on the hosting side though

I have been working on this problem for quite a while and have tried numerous approaches. While I would like to solve it, I think there may be some context I'm not seeing from the problem description, or simply unable to identify a sensible approach. If the context can be improved or at least some sense of the purpose of the question communicated (e.g. some interesting number theoretic idea) I would love to continue on this question.
