Cheating and not to be considered as solving the problem | Comment 23 of 30 |

The questions mentions that we must not use computers to compute.  So, even if he computes the answer, it still could not be accepted since he uses computer to compute.

There is still a challenge for everyone here.  Who can compute the 1000th digit without using computers or calculators?

Even though the answer is known, the way in answering the question is considered to be cheating and not to be accepted.

It is just like you are in the examination hall, you cheat with correct answer and you are not qualified for the test once you have been found in doing so.

So!  The challenge is still open to everybody that wants to be the Champion of Perplexus.info.

Thanks
