Nice coloured solution.
2 1 0 ( m o d 7 ) = 2
3 1 0 ( m o d 7 ) = 4 ; thus,
2 1 0 0 = ( 2 1 0 ) 1 0 = 2 1 0 m o d ( 7 ) = 2 ( m o d 7 ) and
3 1 0 0 = ( 3 1 0 ) 1 0 = 3 1 0 m o d ( 7 ) = 4 ( m o d 7 ) ; therefore, r e m a i n d e r = 4 + 2 = 6
How I hope I was one of the seven children there. Nice solution.
We can see that 3 1 is congurent to 3 (mod 7) and respected remainders are: 3 , 2 , 6 , 4 , 5 , 1 for 3 1 , 3 2 . . . . 3 6 now 3 7 is congurent to 3 1 and 3 1 0 0 is congurent to 3 4 so the remainder is 6 for 3 1 0 0 (congurent by module 7 of course). Similarily we find out that powers of 2 give remainders of 2 , 4 , 1 respectively and 2 1 0 0 is congurent to 2 1 so the remainder is 2. Adding those two we get 6 and 6 divided by 7 gives us the remainder 6

2 1 0 0 + 3 1 0 0 ≡ ( 2 3 ) 3 3 + 1 (mod 7) + ( 3 3 ) 3 3 + 1 (mod 7) We note that: 2 3 = 8 ≡ 1 (mod 7) and 3 3 = 2 7 ≡ − 1 (mod 7) ≡ 2 ( 1 ) (mod 7) + 3 ( − 1 ) (mod 7) ≡ 2 (mod 7) − 3 (mod 7) ≡ − 1 (mod 7) ≡ 6 (mod 7)
