// y = sum a^n
// a * y = sum a^(n+1) = y + a^(n+1) - a^0
// a * y - y = a^(n+1) - a^0
// y * (a - 1) = a^(n+1) - a^0
// y = (a^(n+1) - 1) / (a - 1)

// for 111, 111, 111, ...
// M(n) - 3 * P(n) * (C(n) - 2) > 3n
// M(n) > 3n + 3 * P(n) * (C(n) - 2) = 3n + n * (2/3)^n
// M(n) > 3n

// m * 2^l = 8000
// 2^l = 8000 / m
// l = log2(8000 / m)
// if m = 1 we have l = 12

// afaik we can reduce to only 110s very fast
// with randomized algorithm :)

// for 110, 110, 110, ...
// possible in at most O(n) queries
