Good work Ramkumar for finding such an excellent problem  ,
Sometimes at Goiit also we also have a few discussions that does bamboozle tried and tested mathematicians . Isn't it?
Hope Bhattji comes up with his questions again and Koni , Nadeem , Sboosy ,Elasti , Akhil etc ......... again participate in solving and making things beautiful up here!
