Hi phrontister;

I got the same answer as Bobby.

Usually about 75% of my answers agree with this Bobby chap too! On a good day, more!

Re: sum of digit

Hi juantheron;

Post#1 and #2 provide 2 ways to solve the problem, You can consider my way as some empirical evidence. The binomial was derived by playing spot the pattern, a fairly common technique in combinatorics. At least the way I do it.
