Let
λ = 1 3 + 2 3 + 3 3 + . . . . . . . . . + ρ 3 ( 1 ≤ ρ ≤ 1 0 0 ) .
If the sum of all perfect square values of λ is ζ , what is the value of ⌊ 1 0 7 − ζ ⌋ ?

Perfect solution dud.....you should add more details like, how you computed the value of ∑ ρ 4

∑ ρ n can be computed by Faulhaber's formula .
Also, isn't this a bit of an overrated problem?

It was initialy a level 3 problem ,but i don't know how,its ratings increased to level 5

@Aman Sharma – Maybe because usually people know about ∑ n , ∑ n 2 and ∑ n 3 only. Rarely one knows about more powers!

@Pranjal Jain – Yeah....btw are you preparing for jee???

λ = n = 1 ∑ ρ n 3 = 4 ρ 2 ( 1 + ρ ) 2
Note that all values of λ are perfect squares.
ζ = ρ = 1 ∑ 1 0 0 4 ρ 2 ( 1 + ρ ) 2 = 0 . 2 5 ( 1 ∑ 1 0 0 ρ 4 + 2 1 ∑ 1 0 0 ρ 3 + 1 ∑ 1 0 0 ρ 2 ) = 0 . 2 5 ( 2 1 0 1 6 7 6 6 8 0 ) = 5 2 5 4 1 9 1 7 0
⌊ 1 0 7 − ζ ⌋ = ⌊ − 5 2 . 5 4 . . . ⌋ = − 5 3
