AMC 12 2018a Problem 25

  • Paper

For a positive integer nn and nonzero digits aa, bb, and cc, let AnA_n be the nn-digit integer each of whose digits is equal to aa; let BnB_n be the nn-digit integer each of whose digits is equal to bb, and let CnC_n be the 2n2n-digit (not nn-digit) integer each of whose digits is equal to cc. What is the greatest possible value of a+b+ca + b + c for which there are at least two values of nn such that Cn−Bn=An2C_n - B_n = A_n^2?
