Paper 2Number & countingProbability

An integer nn is chosen uniformly at random from 1≤n<2181\le n<2^{18}. It is given that exactly 6464 coefficients in the expansion of (1+x)n(1+x)^n are odd, and that the coefficient of xnx^n in (1+x)3n(1+x)^{3n} is even.

Let T(n)T(n) be the number of odd coefficients in the expansion of (1+x+x2)n(1+x+x^2)^n.

What is the probability that T(n)T(n) is a perfect square?
