You are given $n$ different primes $p_1, p_2,..., p_n$. Consider the polynomial $$x^n + a_1x^{n -1} + a_2x^{n - 2} + ...+ a_{n - 1}x + a_n$$, where $a_i$ is the product of the first $i$ given prime numbers. For what $n$ can it have an integer root?
Find all pairs $(a, p)$ of positive integers, where $p$ is a prime, such that for any pair of positive integers $m$ and $n$ the remainder obtained when $a^{2^n}$ is divided by $p^n$ is non-zero and equals the remainder obtained when $a^{2^m}$ is divided by $p^m$.
On the $2004$ iTest, we defined an [i]optimus [/i] prime to be any prime number whose digits sum to a prime number. (For example, $83$ is an optimus prime, because it is a prime number and its digits sum to $11$, which is also a prime number.) Given that you select a prime number under $100$, find the probability that is it not an optimus prime.

Let $p$ be a prime number. We construct a directed graph of $p$ vertices, labeled with integers from $0$ to $p-1$. There is an edge from vertex $x$ to vertex $y$ if and only if $x^2+1\equiv y \pmod{p}$. Let $f(p)$ denotes the length of the longest directed cycle in this graph. Prove that $f(p)$ can attain arbitrarily large values.

Determine all $k$ such that there exists a finite sequence of steps that reduces $S$ to $\{0\}$.
