An explicit solution to the congruence $x^2\equiv 14(\frac 3p)-(\frac p3)-12\pmod {p}$?
Let $p>3$ be a prime, and let $(\frac{\cdot}p)$ be the Legendre symbol. Then
$$14\left(\frac 3p\right)-\left(\frac p3\right)-12=\begin{cases}1&\text{if}\ p\equiv1\pmod{12},
\\-25&\text{if}\ ...

Two curious series for $1/\pi$
On Jan. 18, 2012 I conjectured that for any prime $p>3$ we have
$$R_p^2\equiv\frac1{10}\left(512\left(\frac{10}p\right)-27\left(\frac{-15}p\right)-475\right)\pmod p,$$
where $(\frac{\cdot}p)$ ...
