How is this a 'hard' problem??? Or is there something I'm missing here? Hell, a half decent 8th grader should be able to solve that

Pocket calculator. One minute. Done.

x = 24
y = 30

01.(y^2-x).(y^2-10^2)x10
= 01.(900-24).(900-100)x10
= 01.876.8000

I don't think the . is for multiplication as the 01 in front would have no use in the formulation.

Yep. Answered, not difficult, and certainly not highly technical - locking this thread. Anandtech Moderator DrPizza
