The Hampster [sic] Dance or Hampsterdance is a song by Hampton the Hampster. It was released in July 2000, as a single. It was produced by The Boomtang Boys, recreating the Roger Miller hook and adding additional rap-style lyrics.
The single, whose commercially released version featured a sound-a-like sample (the band having failed to gain permission to use the original), along with a number of other short voice samples from classic B-movies forming an abstract vocal line in lieu of a regular lyric, peaked at number 4 on the Christmas 1999 UK singles chart. This version was named "Cognoscenti vs...
Hamster racing is a sport in which hamsters are placed in hamster wheels or hamster balls – often fitted to miniature racing vehicles – and raced down a straight 9 meter (30 ft) course. The hamster crossing the finish line in the shortest amount of time wins. According to a 2001 media report, the world-record time for this course setup is 38 seconds.
Events may feature as few as two hamsters or many teams of hamsters and human pit crews. Hamster balls may be simple spheres or feature many design modifications purported to increase the performance and style of the race vehicle.

A hamper refers to a set of related basket-like items. In primarily British usage, it refers to a wicker basket, usually large, that is used for the transport of items, often food. In North America, the term generally refers to a household receptacle, often a basket, for clean (out of the dryer or off the line) or dirty clothing, regardless of its composition, i.e. "a laundry hamper". Typically a laundry hamper is used for storage and will be sturdier, taller and have a lid while a laundry basket is open and used mainly for transport.
In agricultural use, a hamper is a wide-mouthed container of...
The Hampshire pig is a domestic swine breed characterized by erect ears and a black body with a whitish band around the middle, covering the front legs.
The American National Swine Registry notes this is the fourth "most recorded breed" of pigs in the United States, and probably the oldest American breed of hogs. It is believed to have derived from English Breed, found in northern England and Scotland. Importations of this hog breed to America were thought to have been made from Hampshire in England between 1827 and 1839. Pigs remaining in this part of England developed later into the Wesse...

Quinary is like binary, except that 1 is represented by the text of the program, and 0 is represented as the backwards text of the program.

The winding number is the integer number of counterclockwise revolutions an observer must make to follow a given closed path. The path is allowed to self intersect.
Some examples (shamelessly taken from Wikipedia) are given below:

You are given two polynomials P and Q of degree 1000. The coefficients each have at most 300 digits and are all non-negative. The task is simply to compute the coefficients of P*Q as quickly as possible.

In order to make the output size small, you need only output the largest coefficient...

Your task is to generate the nth term of the RATS sequence, where n is the input. The RATS sequence is also known as the Reverse Add Then Sort sequence. This sequence can also be found here: http://oeis.org/A004000.
test cases:
0 > 1
1 > 2
2 > 4
3 > 8
4 > 16
5 > 77

Write the shortest code that either:
Generates a Fibonacci sequence (either in standard output, or as a stream)
Calculates, given n, the nth Fibonacci number
(I gave both options in case one is easier to do in your chosen language than the other.)

Step 1:
Start with number n
Step 2:
devide the digits of n into a and b, so that the length of a is equal or one smaller then b (example: n = 92346 -> a = 92, b = 236 or n = 8435 -> a = 84, b = 35)
Step 3:
Find the prime factors (in order) of the left side and the right side and concatenate...
Task
Your task is simple. Write a program or function which takes three positive integer arguments n, k, and b in any order, such that 2<=b<=36, and returns or outputs the nth (1-indexed) base-b digit after the decimal point of the rational number (b^k-1)^-2.
The output must be correct for n a...
