Problem 151

Paper sheets of standard sizes: an expected-value problem.

Solution:

problem_151 = undefined

Problem 152

Writing 1/2 as a sum of inverse squares

Note that if p is an odd prime, the sum of inverse squares of all terms divisible by p must have reduced denominator not divisible by p.

Solution:
