I don't think this is easy that's why I rated it 1 star.

there was no hints.. advanced mathematic knowledge is required.. and you put this in easy..

Alrighty, I solved it but in my opinion it's missing a hint if it is to be rated as easy.

? bro its supposed to be easy

yes

it'd be easy if there were a float

Hi this seemed like it should be easy to solve. I figured id start with the equation (X * 212103456793011) mod 2^64 = 183057226632645 and try solve that. any clues?

yup, just solve the equation

Is there a trick to it? I tried to find it using a loop that finds the remainder each iteration but the running time is too long. Can I get a hint? should I solve it through programming or math?

Depends. You can solve it using only math, you can combine both. Do not overcomplicate it :)

Same here, let's see how long the loop has to run.. xd There might be some math equation that doesn't require such bruteforce and is more elegant.. but I simply don't know what to look for at this point. IM gave nothing, idk

what are you doing in iteration broo..??
