AMC 12 2013b Problem 23

  • Paper

Bernardo chooses a three-digit positive integer NN and writes both its base-55 and base-66 representations on a blackboard. Later LeRoy sees the two numbers Bernardo has written. Treating the two numbers as base-1010 integers, he adds them to obtain an integer SS. For example, if N=749N=749, Bernardo writes the numbers 1044410444 and 32453245, and LeRoy obtains the sum S=13,689S=13,689. For how many choices of NN are the two rightmost digits of SS, in order, the same as those of 2N2N?
