Problem 120
Sum of r_max for 3 ≤ a ≤ 1000, where r_max is max remainder of (a-1)^n + (a+1)^n mod a^2. For odd n: 2*a*n mod a^2 → max when n = a-1 if a odd? r_max = a^2 - a if a even? Actually r_max = 2*a*((a-1)/2) = a*(a-1) if a odd? Known: r_max = a * a - 2*a if? Formula: r_max = 2*a*floor((a-1)/2)
