Hi Richie,
Now I have added fmod (modulus for real numbers in the MEPX).
Please download version 2022.1.30.0 from the website.
I have tested against the problem that you mentioned (last 2 digits of 2 to power n).
I have taken the data from the paper, set some commonsense parameters (like +,-,*,/ fmod, min, max, floor, ceil), set the problem to time-series, no constants, and ... it worked since the first run!
The first run was with 0 error, but later runs were with an error greater than 0.
I have predicted 10 new more values, and they are correct, which is good, it means that formula is correct.
But, the formula is quite complex.
First of all, because no constants are used. Having real constants in the context of integer data is more complicated (this is why I have added floor and ceil functions to round values, to be more suitable to fmod).
Definitively is needed an implementation where data are all integers, all operations generate only integers and constants are integers. Definitively, that will help.
If I would add some fixed constants (like 100), most likely the formula would be simpler.
I have attached a project and a screenshot.
Thank you for the suggestion with modulus and best regards,
Mihai
