Problem 1

Let nn be the number that is produced by concatenating the numbers 1,2,...,40221, 2,... , 4022 , that is, n=1234567891011...40214022n = 1234567891011...40214022 . a. Show that nn is divisible by 33 . b. Let a1=n2011a_1 = n^{2011} , and let aia_i be the sum of the digits of ai−1a_{i-1} for i>1i > 1 . Find a4a_4
