Is it OK to ask for what ∑b(n) is for 1≤n≤100 or 1≤n≤1000? I tried this one from scratch twice and I can't see where I'm off.
Also, does fib(10^14) have trillions of digits?

Re: Problem 304
As for the first question, I would argue that asking is okay, but giving the results might not be.
For the second question, the answer is yes. The number would consume over 8TB of computer memory. That should tell you why the modulo answer is requested.

Re: Problem 304
∑b(n) for 1≤n≤1000 in 0.25 second
∑b(n) for 1≤n≤10000 in 48 second
my algo is really stupid

Thanks for reply
