  • Answer

Consider arrangements of the 99 numbers 1,2,3,…,91, 2, 3, \dots, 9 in a 3×33 \times 3 array. For each such arrangement, let a1a_1, a2a_2, and a3a_3 be the medians of the numbers in rows 11, 22, and 33 respectively, and let mm be the median of {a1,a2,a3}\{a_1, a_2, a_3\}. Let QQ be the number of arrangements for which m=5m = 5. Find the remainder when QQ is divided by 10001000.
