we need to find how many numbers between 1000 and 2014 are divisible by $11 ,11^2, 11^3$ so on

$\lfloor\dfrac{999}{11}\rfloor = 90$
$\lfloor\dfrac{2014}{11}\rfloor\ = 183$

$\lfloor\dfrac{999}{11^2}\lfloor\ = 8$
$\lfloor\dfrac{2014}{11^2}\rfloor\ = 16$

$\lfloor\dfrac{999}{11^3}\lfloor\ = 0$
$\lfloor\dfrac{2014}{11^3}\rfloor = 1$

so number of numbers divisible by 11 is 93 by $11^2$ is 8 and $11^3$ is 1

so highest poser is 93 + 8 +1 = 102
or m = 102
 
Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
