Every ALPC has his own alpc-number just like alpc12, alpc55, alpc62 etc.
As more and more fresh man join us. How to number them? And how to avoid their alpc-number conflicted?
Of course, we can number them one by one, but that’s too bored! So ALPCs use another method called Fibonacci Check-up in spite of collision.
First you should multiply all digit of your studying number to get a number n (maybe huge).
Then use Fibonacci Check-up!
Fibonacci sequence is well-known to everyone. People define Fibonacci sequence as follows: F(0) = 0, F(1) = 1. F(n) = F(n-1) + F(n-2), n>=2. It’s easy for us to calculate F(n) mod m.
But in this method we make the problem has more challenge. We calculate the formula
, is the combination number. The answer mod m (the total number of alpc team members) is just your alpc-number.
