The sequence { u n } Z + \{u_n\}\subset\mathbb{Z}^+ on n Z + n\in\mathbb{Z}^+ is defined by u 1 = 1 u_1=1 and

u n + u n 1 + u n 2 + . . . + u 2 + u 1 = n \sqrt{u_n+\sqrt{u_{n-1}+\sqrt{u_{n-2}+\sqrt{...+\sqrt{u_2+\sqrt{u_1}}}}}}=n

The sequence { v n } Z + \{v_n\}\subset\mathbb{Z}^+ on n Z + n\in\mathbb{Z}^+ is defined by v 1 = 1 v_1=1 and

v n + v n 1 + v n 2 + . . . + v 2 + v 1 3 3 3 3 3 3 = n \sqrt[3]{v_n+\sqrt[3]{v_{n-1}+\sqrt[3]{v_{n-2}+\sqrt[3]{...+\sqrt[3]{v_2+\sqrt[3]{v_1}}}}}}=n

Let:

  • A A = the last digit of u 2016 u_{2016}
  • B B = min ( k ) \text{min}(k) such that u k k 2016 u_k-k \geq 2016
  • C C = min ( k ) \text{min}(k) such that v k u k 2016 v_k-u_k \geq 2016

Find A + B + C A+B+C .


The answer is 60.
