We are given the values of $N,M$ and $K$.
How to solve the following mathematical expression(so we can get a formula without the summation sign)?
$$
\sum_{l=0}^{K-1}((l+1)^N-l^N)((l+1)^M-l^M)
$$
I know that:-
$$
\sum_{l=0}^{K-1}((l+1)^N-l^N)=K^N
$$
And
$$
\sum_{l=0}^{K-1}((l+1)^M-l^M)...

When creating puzzles, I often find that the difficulty is difficult to estimate. Some puzzles seem to be "too difficult" to be solved without any hints (as in, the person who is supposed to solve the puzzle gives up after several tries because none of their approaches worked. At other times, a p...
