VTRMC 2010 Problem 1

    Let dd be a positive integer and let AA be a d×dd\times d matrix with integer entries. Suppose I+A+A2+…+A100=0I+A+A_2+\ldots+A_{100}=0 (where II denotes the identity d×dd\times d matrix, and 00 denotes the zero matrix, which has all entries 00 ). Determine the positive integers n≤100n\le100 for which An+An+1+…+A100A_n+A_{n+1}+\ldots+A_{100} has determinant ±1\pm1 .
