Here I'm giving a well-known problem.Actually it's for them who have not solved yet.Just find how many digits $2^{100}$ has if it is written in decimal numeric system.(and part b- can you generalize this?)

This is not an secondary level problem(in my opinion) and junior level students should know it. So moving it to junior level.

Do junior level students know about logarithms and power series?

Then maybe explain your solution to the juniors, otherwise how will they use something they never even heard of? I don't think I heard of these terms when I was a junior.

But I really think junior students nowadays knows basic logarithm well. At least they understand that all integers greater than or equal to $10^k$ and less than $10^{k+1}$ have $k+1$ digits. That is all logarithm needed for this problem, and BdMO in recent years have this kind of problems quite much. This might be quite hard for class VI students , but students of class VIII may know it well.

my goodness.i learned it just now.see, if i am doing it right.
$10^1<31<10^2$ if i am counting right i see there is $2$ digits in $31$ where $k=1$ in this case $31$ has $k+1$ digits.i think it should have been $k+1$.

and, does dkaka parallel math school exist ? I didn't know :oops:
\[\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}e^{\frac{2 \pi i k}{n}}=0\]
Using $L^AT_EX$ and following the rules of the forum are very easy but really important, too.Please co-operate.
