Re: Happy Birthday, Alokananda!
David has 2014 dolls. He has to choose odd number of dolls from the collection. Find the last three digits of the number which represents the total number of ways in which he could do this.
The 2014 is constant. The choice is 1,3,5,...

Re: Happy Birthday, Alokananda!
how do I compute the last three digits of 2014C1+2013C3+2014C5+...+2014C2013 by hand?
Your second term is 2013C3, that can not be right.
Sorry, my second term is 2014C3

Re: Happy Birthday, Alokananda!
Yes, sorry. But what does it matter if you are tired.
Theorem:
https://www.proofwiki.org/wiki/Sum_of_O … efficients
So
It is known that
http://www.exploringbinary.com/patterns … rs-of-two/
and that
so 8 x 24 = 192
The last 3 digits are 192 and you are done.

Re: Happy Birthday, Alokananda!
All proofs require a large amount of background knowledge. That is the price you pay for no computation!
