Let 2 3 3 3 5 5 6 7 m o d 3 = x
And 2 1 4 4 5 6 7 8 m o d 3 = y
Find ( x + y ) m o d 2

I have found generalized result for natural number n as :
C a s e 1 : If n is 1 Then 2 n m o d 3 = 3 if n is 1
C a s e 2 : If n is even Then 2 n m o d 3 = 1
C a s e 3 : If n is odd then 2 n m o d 3 = 2
So x = 1 and y = 2
Therefore x + y m o d 2 = 1
Cool solution, but this should NEVER have been a 3-try problem. We only have 2 possible answers!

Exactly, I did it that way only although I knew how to do it but why overcomplicate things

We can take advantage of the fact that since 2 ≡ − 1 ( m o d 3 )
2 even number ≡ 1 ( m o d 3 )
2 odd number ≡ − 1 ( m o d 3 )
