Problem: Find the number of $7$ -tuples of positive integers $(a,b,c,d,e,f,g)$ that satisfy the following systems of equations: \begin{align*} abc&=70,\\ cde&=71,\\ efg&=72. \end{align*}

Solution: We know that any two consecutive numbers are coprime. Using this, we can figure out that $c=1$ and $e=1$ $d$ then has to be $71$ . Now we have two equations left. $ab=70$ and $fg=72$ . To solve these we just need to figure out all of the factors. Doing the prime factorization of $70$ and $72$ , we find that they have $8$ and $12$ factors, respectively. The answer is $8 \times 12=\boxed{096}$

Answer:  096
Problem: A standard six-sided fair die is rolled four times. The probability that the product of all four numbers rolled is a perfect square is $\tfrac{m}{n}$ , where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$

Solution: Notice that, other than the number 5, the remaining numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 are only divisible by 2 and/or 3. We can do some cases on the number of 5's rolled (note that there are $6^4 = 1296$ outcomes).
Case 1 (easy): Four 5's are rolled. This has probability $\frac{1}{6^4}$ of occurring.
Case 2: Two 5's are rolled.
Case 3: No 5's are rolled.
To find the number of outcomes for the latter two cases, we will use recursion. Consider a 5-sided die with faces numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 6. For $n \ge 1$ , let $a_n$ equal the number of outcomes after rolling the die $n$ times, with the property that the product is a square. Thus, $a_1 = 2$ as 1 and 4 are the only possibilities.
To find $a_{n+1}$ given $a_n$ (where $n \ge 1$ ), we observe that if the first $n$ rolls multiply to a perfect square, then the last roll must be 1 or 4. This gives $2a_n$ outcomes. Otherwise, the first $n$ rolls do not multiply to a perfect square ( $5^n - a_n$ outcomes). In this case, we claim that the last roll is uniquely determined (either 2, 3, or 6). If the product of the first $n$ rolls is $2^x 3^y$ where $x$ and $y$ are not both even, then we observe that if $x$ and $y$ are both odd, then the last roll must be 6; if only $x$ is odd, the last roll must be 2, and if only $y$ is odd, the last roll must be 3. Thus, we have $5^n - a_n$ outcomes in this case, and $a_{n+1} = 2a_n + (5^n - a_n) = 5^n + a_n$
Computing $a_2$ $a_3$ $a_4$ gives $a_2 = 7$ $a_3 = 32$ , and $a_4 = 157$ . Thus for Case 3, there are 157 outcomes. For case 2, we multiply $a_2$ by $\binom{4}{2} = 6$ to distribute the two 5's among four rolls. Thus the probability is
\[\frac{1 + 6 \cdot 7 + 157}{6^4} = \frac{200}{6^4} = \frac{25}{162} \implies m+n = \boxed{187}\]

Problem: A standard six-sided fair die is rolled four times. The probability that the product of all four numbers rolled is a perfect square is $\tfrac{m}{n}$ , where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$

Solution: We can solve this without finding the amount of cases. Notice when we roll a 1 or a 4, it does not affect whether or not the product is a square number. We have a 1/3 chance of rolling either a 1 or 4. We have a 2/3 chance of rolling a 2,3,5 or 6. Let's call rolling 1 or 4 rolling a dud (a perfect square).
Probability of rolling 4 duds: $\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^4$
Probability of rolling 3 duds: $4 * \left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^3 * \frac{2}{3}$
Probability of rolling 2 duds: $6 * \left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^2 * \left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^2$
Probability of rolling 1 dud: $4 * \frac{1}{3} * \left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^3$
Probability of rolling 0 duds: $\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^4$
Now we will find the probability of a square product given we have rolled each amount of duds
Probability of getting a square product given 4 duds: 1
Probability of getting a square product given 3 duds: 0 (you will have 1 non-dud and that's never going to be square)
Probability of getting a square product given 2 duds: $\frac{1}{4}$ (as long as our two non-duds are the same, our product will be square)
Probability of getting a square product given 1 dud: $\frac{3!}{4^3}$ $\frac{3}{32}$ (the only way to have a square  product is rolling a 2,3 and 6. There are 3! ways of doing that and a total of $4^3$ ways to roll 3 non-duds).
Probability of getting a square product given 0 duds: $\frac{40}{4^4}$ $\frac{5}{32}$ (We can have any two non-duds twice. For example, 2,2,5,5. There are $\binom{4}{2} = 6$ ways of choosing which two non-duds to use and $\binom{4}{2} = 6$ ways of choosing how to arrange those 4 numbers. That gives us 6*6=36 combinations. We can also have 2,2,2,2 or 3,3,3,3 or 5,5,5,5 or 6,6,6,6. This gives us a total of 40 combinations).
We multiply each probability of rolling k duds with the probability of getting a square product given k duds and then sum all the values. \[\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^4  * 1 + 4 * \left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^3 * \frac{2}{3} * 0 + 6 * \left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^2 * \left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^2 * \frac{1}{4} + 4 * \frac{1}{3} * \left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^3 * \frac{3}{32} + \left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^4 * \frac{5}{32} = \frac{25}{162}.\]
$25+162$ $\boxed{187}$

Problem: A standard six-sided fair die is rolled four times. The probability that the product of all four numbers rolled is a perfect square is $\tfrac{m}{n}$ , where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$

Solution: Note that rolling a 1/4 will not affect whether or not the product is a perfect square. This means that in order for the product to be a perfect square, all non 1/4 numbers rolled must come in pairs, with the only exception being the triplet 2,3, 6. Now we can do casework:
If there are four 1/4's, then there are $2^4=16$ combinations. 
If there are three 1/4's, then there are 0 combinations, because the fourth number isn't a square. 
If there are two 1/4's, there are $2^2=4$ ways to choose the two 1/4's, 4 ways to choose the remaining pair of numbers, and $\frac{4!}{2!2!}=6$ ways to arrange, so there are $4\cdot 4\cdot 6=96$ combinations for this case. 
If there is one 1/4, then there are 2 ways to choose whether it is a 1 or 4, and the remaining three numbers must be 2, 3, and 6, so there are $4!$ ways to order, meaning there are $2\cdot 4!=48$ combinations for this case. 
Our final case is if there are no 1/4's, in which case we must have two pairs. If the two pairs are of different numbers, then there $\binom{4}{2}$ to choose the numbers and $\frac{4!}{2!2!}=6$ ways to arrange them, so $6\cdot 6=36$ . If all four numbers are the same there are $4$ combinations, so there are $4+36=40$ combinations for this case.
Hence there are $16+0+96+48+40=200$ combinations where the product of the dice is a perfect square, and there are $6^4=1296$ total combinations, so the desired probability is $\frac{200}{1296}=\frac{25}{162}$ , yielding an answer of $25+162=\boxed{187}$

Problem: A standard six-sided fair die is rolled four times. The probability that the product of all four numbers rolled is a perfect square is $\tfrac{m}{n}$ , where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$

Solution: Another way to solve this problem is to do casework on all the perfect squares from $1^2$ to $36^2$ , and how many ways they can be ordered $1^2$ $1,1,1,1$ $1$ way. $2^2$ $4,1,1,1$ or $2,2,1,1$ $\binom{4}{2}+4=10$ ways. $3^2$ $3,3,1,1$ $\binom{4}{2}=6$ ways. $4^2$ $4,4,1,1$ $2,2,2,2$ , or $2,2,4,1$ $\binom{4}{2}+1+12=19$ ways. $5^2$ $5,5,1,1$ $\binom{4}{2}=6$ ways. $6^2$ $6,6,1,1$ $1,2,3,6$ $2,3,2,3$ $3,3,4,1$ $2*\binom{4}{2}+4!+12=48$ ways. $7^2$ - Since there is a prime greater than 6 in its prime factorization there are $0$ ways. $8^2$ $4,4,4,1$ or $2,4,2,4$ $\binom{4}{2}+4=10$ ways. $9^2$ $3,3,3,3$ $1$ way. $10^2$ $2,2,5,5$ or $1,4,5,5$ $6+12=18$ ways. $11^2$ $0$ ways for the same reason as $7^2$ $12^2$ $6,6,2,2$ $4,4,3,3$ $2,3,4,6$ , or $1,4,6,6$ $2*\binom{4}{2}+4!+12=48$ ways. $13^2$ $0$ ways. $14^2$ $0$ ways. $15^2$ $3,3,5,5$ $\binom{4}{2}=6$ ways. $16^2$ $4,4,4,4$ $1$ way. $17^2$ $0$ ways. $18^2$ $3,3,6,6$ $\binom{4}{2}=6$ ways. $19^2$ $0$ ways. $20^2$ $4,4,5,5$ $\binom{4}{2}=6$ ways. $21^2$ $0$ ways. $22^2$ $0$ ways. $23^2$ $0$ ways. $24^2$ $4,4,6,6$ $\binom{4}{2}=6$ ways. $25^2$ $5,5,5,5$ $1$ way. $26^2$ $0$ ways. $27^2$ $0$ ways. $28^2$ $0$ ways. $29^2$ $0$ ways. $30^2$ $5,5,6,6$ $\binom{4}{2}$ ways. $31^2$ $0$ ways. $32^2$ $0$ ways. $33^2$ $0$ ways. $34^2$ $0$ ways. $35^2$ $0$ ways. $36^2$ $6,6,6,6$ $1$ way.
There are $6^4=1296$ ways that the dice can land. Summing up the ways, it is easy to see that there are $200$ ways. 
This results in a probability of $\frac{200}{1296}=\frac{25}{162}\implies\boxed{187}$ -superninja2000

Problem: A standard six-sided fair die is rolled four times. The probability that the product of all four numbers rolled is a perfect square is $\tfrac{m}{n}$ , where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$

Solution: We can do recursion on the number of rolls to find the number of ways we can get $4$ rolls to multiply to a square.
After $n$ rolls, let us say that the product is $p = 2^a3^b5^c$
Define the following:
$A_{n} =$ the number of ways to have a product after $n$ rolls where $a$ is odd, and $b$ $c$ are even
$B_{n} =$ the number of ways to have a product after $n$ rolls where $b$ is odd, and $a$ $c$ are even
$C_{n} =$ the number of ways to have a product after $n$ rolls where $c$ is odd, and $a$ $b$ are even
$D_{n} =$ the number of ways to have a product after $n$ rolls where $c$ is even, and $a$ $b$ are odd
$E_{n} =$ the number of ways to have a product after $n$ rolls where $b$ is even, and $a$ $c$ are odd
$F_{n} =$ the number of ways to have a product after $n$ rolls where $a$ is even, and $b$ $c$ are odd
$G_{n} =$ the number of ways to have a product after $n$ rolls where $a, b,$ and $c$ are all odd
$S_{n} =$ the number of ways to have a product after $n$ rolls where $a, b,$ and $c$ are all even (square!)
We have the following equations after considering the possible values of the nth roll:
\[A_{n} = S_{n-1}+B_{n-1}+D_{n-1}+E_{n-1}+2A_{n-1}\]
\[B_{n} = A_{n-1}+D_{n-1}+F_{n-1}+S_{n-1}+2B_{n-1}\]
\[C_{n} = S_{n-1}+E_{n-1}+F_{n-1}+G_{n-1}+2C_{n-1}\]
\[D_{n} = S_{n-1}+A_{n-1}+B_{n-1}+G_{n-1}+2D_{n-1}\]
\[E_{n} = A_{n-1}+C_{n-1}+F_{n-1}+G_{n-1}+2E_{n-1}\]
\[F_{n} = B_{n-1}+E_{n-1}+C_{n-1}+G_{n-1}+2F_{n-1}\]
\[G_{n} = C_{n-1}+D_{n-1}+F_{n-1}+E_{n-1}+2G_{n-1}\]
\[S_{n} = A_{n-1}+C_{n-1}+B_{n-1}+D_{n-1}+2S_{n-1}\]
We have the following values after considering the possible values of the 1st roll:
\[A_1 = B_1 = C_1 = D_1 = 1; E_1 = F_1 = G_1 = 0; S_1 = 2\]
After applying recursion twice, we get:
\[A_2 = B_2 = D_2 = 6, C_2 = 4, E_2 = F_2 = G_2 = 2, S_2 = 8\]
\[A_3 = B_3 = D_3 = 34, C_3 = 22, E_3 = F_3 = G_3 = 18, S_3 = 38\]
Finally, we have $S_4 = 200$ $\frac{m}{n} = \frac{200}{1296} = \frac{25}{162}$ meaning our answer is $\boxed{187}$

Problem: A standard six-sided fair die is rolled four times. The probability that the product of all four numbers rolled is a perfect square is $\tfrac{m}{n}$ , where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$

Solution: Consider all the distinct "fundamental" groups of integers from $1$ to $6$ whose product is a perfect square. A "fundamental" group is one that cannot be broken into two smaller groups that each have a perfect square product. For example, $\{2,2\}$ is a fundamental group, while $\{3,3,4\}$ is not, because it can be broken up into $\{3,3\}$ and $\{4\}$
$1$ and $4$ are already perfect squares, so they each form a "fundamental" group and cannot belong in any other group. Pairs of the other $4$ numbers ( $\{2,2\}$ $\{3,3\}$ , etc. ) form "fundamental" groups as well. The last "fundamental" group is $\{2,3,6\}$ . It can be easily seen that no more groups exist.
Thus, we have the "fundamental" groups $\{1\}$ $\{4\}$ $\{2,2\}$ $\{3,3\}$ $\{5,5\}$ $\{6,6\}$ , and $\{2,3,6\}$
We now consider the ways to use these groups to form a sequence of $4$ numbers whose product is a perfect square. To form a set, we can simply select zero to two groups of size $2$ or $3$ and fill in any remaining spots with $1$ s and $4$ s. We can do this in one of $5$ ways: Using only $1$ s and $4$ s, using one group of size $2$ , using one group of size $3$ , using two different groups of size $2$ , and using the same group of size $2$ twice.
If we only use $1$ s and $4$ s, each of the $4$ slots can be filled with one of the $2$ numbers, so there are $2^4=16$ possibilities.
If we use one group of size $2$ , there are $4$ options for the group to use, $\binom{4}{2}$ ways to place the two numbers (since they are identical), and $2^2$ ways to fill in the remaining slots with $1$ s and $4$ s, so there are $4\cdot\binom{4}{2}\cdot2^2=96$ possibilities.
If we use one group of size $3$ , there is only $1$ option for the group to use, $4\cdot3\cdot2$ ways to place the three numbers (since they are distinct), and $2$ ways to fill in the remaining slot, so there are $4\cdot3\cdot2\cdot2=48$ possibilities.
If we use two different groups of size $2$ , there are $\binom{4}{2}$ options for the groups to use and $\binom{4}{2}$ ways to place the four numbers (since there are $2$ groups of identical numbers, and one group's placement uniquely determines the other's), so there are $\binom{4}{2}\cdot\binom{4}{2}=36$ possibilities.
If we use the same group of size $2$ twice, there are $4$ options for the group to use and $1$ way to place the four numbers (since they are all identical), so there are $4=4$ possibilities.
This gives us a total of $16+96+48+36+4=200$ possibilities, and since there are $6^4=1296$ total sequences that can be rolled, the probability is equal to $\frac{200}{1296}=\frac{25}{162}$ , so the answer is $25+162=\boxed{187}$ . ~ emerald_block

Problem: A standard six-sided fair die is rolled four times. The probability that the product of all four numbers rolled is a perfect square is $\tfrac{m}{n}$ , where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$

Solution: There are a total of $2^4=1296$ possible die rolls.
We use casework:
Case 1 : All 4 numbers are the same.
There are obviously $6$ ways.
Case 2 : Sets of 2 different numbers.
A set of two different numbers is basically $(x,x,y,y)$ . There are a total of $\frac{4!}{2!\cdot 2!}=6$ ways to arrange the numbers.
By listing these cases, we quickly see a pattern:
$(1,1,2,2)$
$(1,1,3,3)$
$...$
$(1,1,6,6)$
$(2,2,3,3)$
$...$
$(2,2,6,6)$
$...$
$(5,5,6,6)$
There are a total of $5+4+3+2+1=15$ cases. Multiplying this by $6$ yields $15\cdot 6=90$ ways.
Case 3 : Sets of numbers in the form of $(x,x,1,4)$
A special case must be made for the number $4$ because $4$ itself is a perfect square.
$(1,1,1,4)$ $4$
$(2,2,1,4)$ $12$
$(3,3,1,4)$ $12$
$(4,4,1,4)$ $4$
$(5,5,1,4)$ $12$
$(6,6,1,4)$ $12$
Summing these up yields a total of $4+12+12+4+12+12=56$ ways.
Case 4 : Sets with all 4 numbers different
Note that the sets
$(1,2,3,6)$
$(2,3,4,6)$
Multiply to perfect square. The total of these cases are $24+24=48$
Adding all these cases together yields $6+90+56+48=200$ ways that the product of the values of the die can be a perfect square.
Therefore the probability is
$\frac{200}{1296}=\frac{25}{162}$
$m+n = 25+162 = \boxed{187}$

Answer:  187
Problem: Four ambassadors and one advisor for each of them are to be seated at a round table with $12$ chairs numbered in order $1$ to $12$ . Each ambassador must sit in an even-numbered chair. Each advisor must sit in a chair adjacent to his or her ambassador. There are $N$ ways for the $8$ people to be seated at the table under these conditions. Find the remainder when $N$ is divided by $1000$

Solution: Let us first consider the $4$ ambassadors and the $6$ even-numbered chairs. If we consider only their relative positions, they can sit in one of $3$ distinct ways: Such that the $2$ empty even-numbered chairs are adjacent, such that they are separated by one occupied even-numbered chair, and such that they are opposite each other. For each way, there are $4!=24$ ways to assign the $4$ ambassadors to the $4$ selected seats.
In the first way, there are $6$ distinct orientations. The $4$ advisors can be placed in any of the $5$ odd-numbered chairs adjacent to the ambassadors, and for each placement, there is exactly one way to assign them to the ambassadors. This means that there are $24\cdot6\cdot\binom{5}{4}=720$ total seating arrangements for this way.
In the second way, there are $6$ distinct orientations. $3$ advisors can be placed in any of the $4$ chairs adjacent to the "chunk" of $3$ ambassadors, and $1$ advisor can be placed in either of the $2$ chairs adjacent to the "lonely" ambassador. Once again, for each placement, there is exactly one way to assign the advisors to the ambassadors. This means that there are $24\cdot6\cdot\binom{4}{3}\cdot\binom{2}{1}=1152$ total seating arrangements for this way.
In the third way, there are $3$ distinct orientations. For both "chunks" of $2$ ambassadors, $2$ advisors can be placed in any of the $3$ chairs adjacent to them, and once again, there is exactly one way to assign them for each placement. This means that there are $24\cdot3\cdot\binom{3}{2}\cdot\binom{3}{2}=648$ total seating arrangements for this way.
Totalling up the arrangements, there are $720+1152+648=2520$ total ways to seat the people, and the remainder when $2520$ is divided by $1000$ is $\boxed{520}$ . ~ emerald_block

Answer:  520
Problem: Four ambassadors and one advisor for each of them are to be seated at a round table with $12$ chairs numbered in order $1$ to $12$ . Each ambassador must sit in an even-numbered chair. Each advisor must sit in a chair adjacent to his or her ambassador. There are $N$ ways for the $8$ people to be seated at the table under these conditions. Find the remainder when $N$ is divided by $1000$

Solution: In the diagram, the seats are numbered 1...12.  Rather than picking seats for each person, however, each ambassador/assistant team picks a gap between the seats (A...L) and the ambassador sits in the even seat while the assistant sits in the odd seat.  For example, if team 1 picks gap C then Ambassador 1 will sit in seat 2 while assistant 1 will sit in seat 3.  No two teams can pick adjacent gaps.  For example, if team 1 chooses gap C then team 2 cannot pick gaps B or D.  In the diagram, the teams have picked gaps C, F, H and J.  Note that the gap-gaps - distances between the chosen gaps - (in the diagram, 2, 1, 1, 4) must sum to 8.  So, to get the number of seatings, we:
So, the total is $12\cdot35\cdot6=2520$
Therefore, the remainder is $\boxed{520}$

Problem: Four ambassadors and one advisor for each of them are to be seated at a round table with $12$ chairs numbered in order $1$ to $12$ . Each ambassador must sit in an even-numbered chair. Each advisor must sit in a chair adjacent to his or her ambassador. There are $N$ ways for the $8$ people to be seated at the table under these conditions. Find the remainder when $N$ is divided by $1000$

Solution: There are $6\cdot5\cdot4\cdot3\cdot2^4$ (placing the ambassadors and then choosing the locations of the advisors) total ways to let everyone sit. However, this may lead to advisors sitting in the same chair, leading to awkward situations. So we find how many ways this happens. There are $\dbinom{4}{2} = 6$ ways to choose which advisors end up sitting together, times $6\cdot2=12$ ways to find neighboring even seats (order matters), and for the other two ambassadors, there are $\dbinom{4}{2} \cdot 2 = 12$ ways to sit and 4 ways for their advisors to sit. This results in $6\cdot12\cdot12\cdot4=3456$ ways for this to happen. However, we overcounted the case when all four of the advisors run out of room to sit, where there are $\frac{6\cdot3}{2!}=9$ to choose the places the ambassadors sit and 4! ways to arrange the ambassadors. $9\cdot4!=216$ ways to happen. So the answer is $5760 - 3456 + 216 = 2520$ , which has a remainder of $\boxed{520}$ when divided by 1000.

Problem: Four ambassadors and one advisor for each of them are to be seated at a round table with $12$ chairs numbered in order $1$ to $12$ . Each ambassador must sit in an even-numbered chair. Each advisor must sit in a chair adjacent to his or her ambassador. There are $N$ ways for the $8$ people to be seated at the table under these conditions. Find the remainder when $N$ is divided by $1000$

Solution: We see that for every 2 adjacent spots on the table, there is exactly one way for an ambassador and his or her partner to sit. There are 2 cases:
For the first case, there are 3 pairs and 4 empty spaces, which results in $\frac{7!}{3!4!} = 35$ ways to arrange the pairs.
For the second case, there are 4 pairs and 4 empty spaces, which results in $\frac{8!}{4!4!} = 70$ ways to arrange the pairs.
Finally, we have to assign ambassadors and their advisors to the pairs, which has $4!=24$ ways, so $N = (35+70)\cdot 24 = 2520$ , or $\boxed{520}$ ~PenguinMoosey

Problem: In a Martian civilization, all logarithms whose bases are not specified are assumed to be base $b$ , for some fixed $b\ge2$ . A Martian student writes down \[3\log(\sqrt{x}\log x)=56\] \[\log_{\log x}(x)=54\] and finds that this system of equations has a single real number solution $x>1$ . Find $b$

Solution: Using change of base on the second equation to base b, \[\frac{\log x}{\log \log_{b}{x}}=54\] \[\log x = 54 \cdot \log\log_{b}{x}\] \[x = (\log_{b}{x})^{54}\] Note by dolphin7 - you could also just rewrite the second equation in exponent form.
Substituting this into the $\sqrt x$ of the first equation, \[3\log_{b}{((\log_{b}{x})^{27}\log_{b}{x})} = 56\] \[3\log_{b}{(\log_{b}{x})^{28}} = 56\] \[\log_{b}{(\log_{b}{x})^{84}} = 56\]
We can manipulate this equation to be able to substitute $x = (\log_{b}{x})^{54}$ a couple more times: \[\log_{b}{(\log_{b}{x})^{54}} = 56 \cdot \frac{54}{84}\] \[\log_{b}{x} = 36\] \[(\log_{b}{x})^{54} = 36^{54}\] \[x = 6^{108}\]
However, since we found that $\log_{b}{x} = 36$ $x$ is also equal to $b^{36}$ . Equating these, \[b^{36} = 6^{108}\] \[b = 6^3 = \boxed{216}\]

Solution: We start by simplifying the first equation to \[3\log_{b}{(\sqrt{x}\log x)}=\log_{b}{(x^{\frac{3}{2}}\log^3x)}=56\] \[x^\frac{3}{2}\cdot \log_b^3x=b^{56}\] Next, we simplify the second equation to \[\log_{\log(x)}(x)=\frac{\log_b(x)}{\log_b(\log_b(x))}=54\] \[\log_bx=54\log_b(\log_b(x))=\log_b(\log_b^{54}(x))\] \[x=\log_b^{54}x\] Substituting this into the first equation gives \[\log_b^{54\cdot \frac{3}{2}}(x)\cdot \log_b^3x=\log_b^{84}x=b^{56}\] \[x=b^{b^{\frac{56}{84}}}=b^{b^{\frac{2}{3}}}\] Plugging this into $x=\log_b^{54}x$ gives \[b^{b^{\frac{2}{3}}}=\log_b^{54}(b^{b^\frac{2}{3}})=b^{\frac{2}{3}\cdot 54}=b^{36}\] \[b^{\frac{2}{3}}=36\] \[b=36^{\frac{3}{2}}=6^3=\boxed{216}\] -ktong

Problem: In a Martian civilization, all logarithms whose bases are not specified are assumed to be base $b$ , for some fixed $b\ge2$ . A Martian student writes down \[3\log(\sqrt{x}\log x)=56\] \[\log_{\log x}(x)=54\] and finds that this system of equations has a single real number solution $x>1$ . Find $b$

Solution: Apply change of base to \[\log_{\log x}(x)=54\] to yield: \[\frac{\log_b(x)}{\log_b(\log_b(x))}=54\] which can be rearranged as: \[\frac{\log_b(x)}{54}=\log_b(\log_b(x))\] Apply log properties to \[3\log(\sqrt{x}\log x)=56\] to yield: \[3(\frac{1}{2}\log_b(x)+\log_b(\log_b(x)))=56\Rightarrow\frac{1}{2}\log_b(x)+\log_b(\log_b(x))=\frac{56}{3}\] Substituting \[\frac{\log_b(x)}{54}=\log_b(\log_b(x))\] into the equation $\frac{1}{2}\log_b(x)+\log_b(\log_b(x))=\frac{56}{3}$ yields: \[\frac{1}{2}\log_b(x)+\frac{\log_b(x)}{54}=\frac{28\log_b(x)}{54}=\frac{56}{3}\] So \[\log_b(x)=36.\] Substituting this back in to \[\frac{\log_b(x)}{54}=\log_b(\log_b(x))\] yields \[\frac{36}{54}=\log_b(36).\] So, \[b^{\frac{2}{3}}=36\Rightarrow \boxed{216}\]
