May 27, 2013 at 19:07 comment added Gerhard Paseman From my perspective, "such a number" could include either of the expressions in the title of the paper, or the numbers x,n,y, or q referred to in the title. I do not mean to say that your wording is opaque or misleading. I do mean to say that your wording is not bulletproof. Gerhard "Just Trying To Help Protect" Paseman, 2013.05.27
May 27, 2013 at 18:49 comment added user9072 I agree that 'such a number' is not a good way to phrase this (though I would also say that it is hard to see for me how anything else but the $R_n$ in the question could be meant), and will change it shortly (I want to use the edit also to include something else, which I do not want to do just now).
May 27, 2013 at 18:40 comment added Gerhard Paseman To reduce the chance of misinterpretation, I highly recommend replacing "such a number" by "a nontrivial base 10 repunit"; otherwise someone else might tell you about 343. Gerhard "Fond Of Repunits And Cubes" Paseman, 2013.05.27
