Problem
Sekou writes the numbers 
After he erases one of his numbers, the sum of the remaining four numbers is a multiple of 
Which number did he erase?
Solution 1
The sum of all five numbers is 
. Since is 
more than a multiple of 
, the number being subtracted must be more than a multiple of . Thus, the answer is 
.
~Gavin_Deng
Solution 2
The sum of the residues of these numbers modulo is 
. Hence, the number being subtracted must be congruent to modulo . The only such answer is .
~cxsmi
Solution 3
We try out every number using brute force and get .
Note that this is not practical and it is very time-consuming.
