Can a Hamkins infinite time Turing Machine with infinite Super Turing jumps (from higher type oracles) get the power to decide $\Sigma_1^2$ sets?

Hamkins showed that his infinite time Turing machine has the power to decide some $\Delta_2^1$ sets. I wonder if some modifications of the machine could be made to reach level $\Si …

Is there a composite number that satisfies these conditions?

We know that if $q=4k+3$ ($q$ is a prime), then $(a+bi)^q=a-bi \pmod q$ for every Gaussian integer $a+bi$. Now consider a composite number $N=4k+3$ that satisfies this condition fo …
