  • Answer

For each even positive integer xx, let g(x)g(x) denote the greatest power of 2 that divides x.x. For example, g(20)=4g(20)=4 and g(16)=16.g(16)=16. For each positive integer n,n, let Sn=∑k=12n−1g(2k).S_n=\sum_{k=1}^{2^{n-1}}g(2k). Find the greatest integer nn less than 1000 such that SnS_n is a perfect square.
