$$7^n \mid 9^n-1 \Rightarrow 7 \mid 9^n-1$$.
But $$7 \nmid 9^n-1$$.
As $$n \geq 1$$ there is no such $$n$$.

Re: X's and 3
Here we have finitely many $$x's$$. But where's the prove
No matter how many x's are there, the answer would be $$\sqrt[3]{3}$$

Re: IMO 2014 - Day 1 Problem 1
$$a_n < \dfrac{a_0+a_1+a_2+\cdots+a_n}{n} \leq a_{n+1}$$ $$na_n < a_0+a_1+a_2+\cdots+a_n \leq na_{n+1}.$$ For uniqueness: Let $$n={n_1,n_2,....n_k}$$ satisfies $$a_0+a_1+a_2+\cdots+a_n \leq na_{n+1}$$ where $$n_1<n_2<\cdots<n_k$$. Let $$n_1+m_i=n_i$$ $$ $$ Now, $$\sum_{k=0}^n a_k\leq n_1a_{n+1}$$. $...
