Since <math>40</math> seems like a completely arbitrary number, we can use Engineer's Induction by listing out the first few sums. These are, in the order of how many terms there are starting from <math>1</math> term: <math>3</math>, <math>18</math>, <math>63</math>, <math>168</math>, <math>378</math>, and <math>756</math>. Notice that these are just <math>3 \cdot \dbinom50</math>, <math>3 \cdot \dbinom61</math>, <math>3 \cdot \dbinom72</math>, <math>3 \cdot \dbinom83</math>, <math>3 \cdot \dbinom94</math>, <math>3 \cdot \dbinom{10}5</math>. It's clear that this pattern continues up to <math>38</math> terms, noticing that the "indexing" starts with <math>\dbinom32</math> instead of <math>\dbinom12</math>. Thus, the value of the sum is <math>3 \cdot \dbinom{42}{37}=2552004 \equiv \boxed{\textbf{004}} \pmod{1000}</math>. | Since <math>40</math> seems like a completely arbitrary number, we can use Engineer's Induction by listing out the first few sums.

Solution
To solve this problem, we need to use the following result:
Now, we use this result to solve this problem.
We have
Therefore, modulo 1000, .

Solution 2 (similar to solution 1)
Doing simple algebra calculation will give the following equation:
Next, by using Hockey-Stick Identity, we have:

Solution 3
Since seems like a completely arbitrary number, we can use Engineer's Induction by listing out the first few sums. These are, in the order of how many terms there are starting from
term:
,
,
,
,
, and
. Notice that these are just
,
,
,
,
,
. It's clear that this pattern continues up to
terms, noticing that the "indexing" starts with
instead of
. Thus, the value of the sum is
.
