Entry #7

The assignment is finally done and the second term test is coming up. While working the assignment I found the proofs to be very challenging. I wasn't 100% sure of what to write for my proofs and sometimes was doubting my partner's answers because I thought your supposed to prove it like "blah". Like in question 3 of the assignment, the statement is false but I had thought it was true because I picked n = 5. So I got the results of 25 mod 11 = 3 and 5 mod 11 = 5. It looked right to me but my partner had to explain it to me thoroughly and used an example of 289 mod 11 = 3 and 17 mod 11 =/= 5 for me to finally get it.
