You are given a deck of $n \cdot m$ different cards where $n$ and $m$ are fixed numbers both between $10^{99}$ and $10^{100}$. You perform an [i]$m$-perfect shuffle[/i] for some times. In a single $m$-perfect shuffle, you divide the deck into $m$ piles with $n$ consecutive cards in each pile. You take one card from each pile, in order of the piles, for $n$ times to form the new deck. (The $m$-perfect shuffle is deterministic) For example, if the cards are labeled 12345678 where $n=4$ and $m=2$, you divide the deck into 1234 and 5678, and after one $2$-perfect shuffle you get 15263748. In another example, if the cards are labeled 123456789 where $n=3$ and $m=3$, you divide the deck into 123, 456, and 789, and after one $3$-perfect shuffle you get 147258369. Find an algorithm that, in at most $k$ steps, outputs the smallest positive number of $m$-perfect shuffle after which the deck is exactly the same as the original deck. In each step, you can do one arithmetic operation in $\{+, -, *, /, \bmod\}$, do one comparison, break out of a loop, or store one number to a specific location of an array. You can use the following precomputed numbers of steps in your solution: [list] [*] Checking if $a$ divides $b$ for any two integers $a$ and $b$ takes 2 steps because you need to compute $b \bmod a$ then compare with $0$. [*]A loop over $k$ iterations takes $2k$ steps because you need to increment the loop index by $1$ $k$ times and check the loop guard $k$ times. [*]Simulating one "$m$-perfect shuffle" takes $7nm$ steps because there is one loop index increment, four arithmetic operations, and one store in each iteration of the loop. [/list] [b]Scoring:[/b] An algorithm that completes in at most $k$ steps will be awarded: [list] [*] 1 pt for $k > 10^{10^{10^{10}}}$ [*] 10 pts for $k = 10^{10^{10^{10}}}$ [*] 20 pts for $k = 10^{420}$ [*] 30 pts for $k = 10^{360}$ [*] 50 pts for $k = 10^{240}$ [*] 70 pts for $k = 10^{202}$ [*] 80 pts for $k = 10^{201}$ [*] 95 pts for $k = 10^{120}$ [*] 98 pts for $k = 10^{102}$ [*] 100 pts for $k = 10^{101}$ [/list] [i]Proposed by Mingkuan Xu[/i]
Let $p$ be a prime number. Prove that the determinant of the matrix \[ \begin{bmatrix}x & y & z\\ x^p & y^p & z^p \\ x^{p^2} & y^{p^2} & z^{p^2} \end{bmatrix} \] is congruent modulo $p$ to a product of polynomials of the form $ax+by+cz$, where $a$, $b$, and $c$ are integers. (We say two integer polynomials are congruent modulo $p$ if corresponding coefficients are congruent modulo $p$.)
