  • This is a easy and good puzzle.
    Find the 8 digit number which satiesfies all of the following conditions
    1-> the first 2 and last 2 digits are same.
    2-> the total of 8 digit is 37.
    3-> it is a square number.
    4-> it is a cube number.

    If anyone wants to make the code, here is the hint:
    try making a series of square & cube numbers, then save the common numbers in series. Then you know the remainimg task.

    The answer is 16777216.


    The square root is 4096 and cube root is 256.

    i followed this approach as it decreases the chances , i checked for cubes of numbers which end up in 8 digits so the range of numbers from 216 - 464 on cubing gives the answer which is of 8 digits following the same approach in squaring 3163 - 9999 gives the numebers in 8 digits.

    So i wrote a loop to check the cube roots aganist the square roots and i didnt use the condition the first two and last two are same ..
    With using that i think the solution will be even simpler ..

    Nice puzzle Rajdeep 😀

    Rajdeep are you sure this series is correct...

    What I can work out is it, is following pattern 3*2^n-n-3, where n starts from 0. (Though its not working for first element)
    However 74 is not fitting in this solution; 6 member of the series should be should be 88. If yes then answer is 183, 374, 757.

    Correct me if I am wrong.

    Thanks CB, for you reply and pointing out the error. I recalculated the whole series after your reply and I found one error in 6th number. Actually the series is right, but I misspelled the number. The original number is 84. And one more thing that series can be started from 0 but it doesnt affect the series. Sorry for that error.
    @Crazyboy, again thanks. And regarding about your answer, it isnt correct.

    Here is the common equation,
    for 1st series :- X(n+1)=X(n+1)+X(n)+n^2
    and for 2nd series :- X(n+1)=X(n+1)+X(n)+n
    take X(0)=0, X(1)=1.
    I want to post some more series by replacing n by 2n,3n,or n^3, but I just thought that its enough. Thanks SS for your interest, I will post some more difficult series.

    Below is my solution:

    1-> 1,2,2,4,5,9,13,22,__,__,__,...
    Considering x(0) = 1, x(1) = 2, the equation should be:
    x(n+1) = x(n) + x(n-1) - (n % 2)
    Hence,
    x(8)
    = x(7 + 1)
    = x(7) + x(7-1) - (7 % 2)
    = x(7) + x(6) - (7 % 2)
    = 22 + 13 - 1
    = 34
    
    2-> 0,1,1,3,4,8,12,21__,__,__,...
    Considering x(0) = 0, x(1) = 1, the equation should be:
    x(n+1) = x(n) + x(n-1) + [(n+1) % 2)]
    Hence,
    x(8)
    = x(7 + 1)
    = x(7) + x(7-1) + [(7+1) % 2]
    = x(7) + x(6) + [8 % 2]
    = 21 + 12 + 0
    = 33
    
    3-> 1,0,2,2,5,7,13,21,__,__,__,...
    Considering x(0) = 1, x(1) = 0, the equation should be:
    x(n+1) = x(n) + x(n-1) + (n % 2)
    Hence,
    x(8)
    = x(7 + 1)
    = x(7) + x(7-1) + (7 % 2)
    = x(7) + x(6) + (7 % 2)
    = 21 + 13 + 1
    = 35
    
    4-> 2,1,4,3,6,8,14,21,__,__,__,...
    I feel the series should be
    2,1,3,3,6,8,14,21,__,__,__,...
    If that is the case then considering x(0) = 2, x(1) = 1, the equation should be:
    x(n+1) = x(n) + x(n-1) - [(n+1) % 2]
    Hence,
    x(8)
    = x(7 + 1)
    = x(7) + x(7-1) - [(7+1) % 2]
    = x(7) + x(6) + (8 % 2)
    = 21 + 14 + 0
    = 35
    If the series is not as i specified, then i need to give it another try.

    You get the another solution for series. Here is my solution:
    take X(0)=1, X(1)=1,
    1-> X(n+1)=X(n)+X(n-1)+Sin(n*pi/2)
    2-> X(n+1)=X(n)+X(n-1)-Cos(n*pi/2)
    3-> X(n+1)=X(n)+X(n-1)-Sin(n*pi/2)

    That's a tough one. I guess it should be 4 but not sure.

    Reason:
    The series is: 0,1,3,2,6,7,5,__,__,__
    If we take difference of each consecutive number the series of differences is
    1,2,-1,4,1,2
    So i feel the pattern it follows is
    1,2,-1,4,1,2,-1,4...
    And so the next value in the given series should be (5-1) = 4.

    If you specify few next element of the series then may be i can comment more on that.

    Thanks for bringing that up. I did a typo.

    Actually i mean that the pattern should be
    1,2,-1,4,1,-2,-1,-4...
    or something similar.

    For the current series i will still go with 4 as guess for next number. But to determine the correct pattern i will need more data as input.

    Now you will have to specify the next four elements of the series.
    I feel the series follow pattern where the difference from previous number can be represented as:
    1,2,-1,4,1,-2,-1,8,1 ,2,-1,-4,1,-2,-1,16...,

    The series of differences follow the pattern:
    - The difference will always be (+/-)2^n, (n >= 0)

    - n is the highest number for which the position of difference is completely divisible by 2^n, e.g., if we consider position 8, 8 is completely by 2^3 = 8. So we put 8 there. Similarly if we consider position 12, 12 is completely divisible by 2^2 = 4 so we put 4 there.

    - The +/- is determined from the previous sign of same difference value and the first appearance of any difference value is always positive, e.g., at position 12 we have -4 because the previous appearance of 4 at position 4 was positive. At position 16 we have 16 (positive) because it appears for first time.

    So the next four number in the series should be 15,14,10,11.

    @Pradeep, your answer is right but I cant get through the logic you used in series. I have different logic for series. I have little doubt about the integrity of the logic you used. Can you please specify more elements of the series (preferebly 10-12) to check the integrity of the series? I am looking forward for this.

    And hence the series of actual numbers will be:
    0,1,3,2,6,7,5,4,12,13,15,14,10,11, 9,8,24,25,27,26,30,31,29,28,20...

    ->> use only standard arithmetic expression

    Here is another mathematics teaser :
    Use only 1, 3, 4, & 6 to derive the number 24. You have to follow some rules,
    ->> use only standard arithmetic expression
    ->> use of trignometric and logrethmic functions is not allowed here
    ->> you can use infinite numbers of bracket
    Go CEans!!!!
    Modulus (%) is Arithmetic operator


    (3%1)+(4*6)=24

    (1*2)+0=2

    (2*2)-0=4

    (4*2)+1=9

    (9*2)-1=17

    (17*2)+4=38

    (38*2)-4=72

    (72*2)+9=153

    (153*2)-9=297

    1 ,2 ,4 ,9 ,17 ,38 ,72 ,153 ,297

    Great Sheeko, well done but you discovered the whole new series. So I have to give some elements to resolve the ambiguity error. Here it is,
    #->>> 1,2,4,9,17,38,72,161,305,___,___,___,....
    All the best this time...

    @Sheeko, sorry buddy your series is wrong.
    The next element should be 682.

    At last you got it!!!
    Congratulation!!
    Here is the new series,
    #->>> 1,4,27,256,___,___,___,....
    #->>> 2,8,7,28,___,___,___,....
    #->>> 2,8,27,85,___,___,___,....
    This time you have to specify the common equation of series too, cause its damn easy to find the next number but for finding common equation, you have to mess with your mind.
    All the best.

    1) The first series is n[SUP]n[/SUP].

    so, the next terms are 3125, 46656, etc..


    2) The second series is,

    2+(n-1)*5/2 if n is odd,and
    (n-1)*4 if n is even.

    So, the next terms are 12,48,17,68, etc..

    3) I can't find the common equation for this. I managed to find the next terms in the series.. They came to be
    208, 422..

    Let me know if they are correct..

    Any series grows how you want to make it grow...

    My try for first one...

    2, 8, 7, 28, 27, 108, 107, 428........

    Solution: 2*4 =8 -1 =7*4 =28-1 =27*4 =108-1 =107*4 =428..... and so on...

    2, 8, 7, 28, 27, 108, 107, 428........
    I also thought of the same solution 😀

    I feel the second series should go as:

    2, 8, 27, 85, 260, 786, 2365 ...

    2 * 3 + 2 = 8
    8 * 3 + 3 = 27
    27 * 3 + 4 = 85
    85 * 3 + 5 = 260
    260 * 3 + 6 = 786
    786 * 3 + 7 = 2365
