Greg Egan on Nostr: If you write the result of: (123123 * 5^(5^(5^(5^(5^(5^(5^(5^(5^5))))))))) mod 999999 ...
If you write the result of:
(123123 * 5^(5^(5^(5^(5^(5^(5^(5^(5^5))))))))) mod 999999
as a 6-digit number, padded on the left with leading zeroes if necessary, are the first 3 digits the same as the last 3 digits?
