## Description
|
||
<section id='description'>
|
||
Create a sequence of numbers using the "Blum Blum Shub" pseudo-random number generator:
|
||
|
||
s0
|
||
=
|
||
14025256
|
||
sn+1
|
||
=
|
||
sn2 mod 20300713
|
||
|
||
|
||
Concatenate these numbers s0s1s2… to create a string w of infinite length.
|
||
Then, w = 14025256741014958470038053646…
|
||
|
||
For a positive integer k, if no substring of w exists with a sum of digits equal to k, p(k) is defined to be zero. If at least one substring of w exists with a sum of digits equal to k, we define p(k) = z, where z is the starting position of the earliest such substring.
|
||
|
||
For instance:
|
||
|
||
The substrings 1, 14, 1402, …
|
||
with respective sums of digits equal to 1, 5, 7, …
|
||
start at position 1, hence p(1) = p(5) = p(7) = … = 1.
|
||
|
||
The substrings 4, 402, 4025, …
|
||
with respective sums of digits equal to 4, 6, 11, …
|
||
start at position 2, hence p(4) = p(6) = p(11) = … = 2.
|
||
|
||
The substrings 02, 0252, …
|
||
with respective sums of digits equal to 2, 9, …
|
||
start at position 3, hence p(2) = p(9) = … = 3.
|
||
|
||
Note that substring 025 starting at position 3, has a sum of digits equal to 7, but there was an earlier substring (starting at position 1) with a sum of digits equal to 7, so p(7) = 1, not 3.
|
||
|
||
We can verify that, for 0 < k ≤ 103, ∑ p(k) = 4742.
|
||
|
||
Find ∑ p(k), for 0 < k ≤ 2·1015.
