2020 AIME II Problem 14
For real number x let \lfloor x\rfloor be the greatest integer less than or equal to x, and define \{x\} = x - \lfloor x \rfloor to be the fractional part of x. For example, \{3\} = 0 and \{4.56\} = 0.56. Define f(x)=x\{x\}, and let N be the number of real-valued solutions to the equation f(f(f(x)))=17 for 0\leq x\leq 2020. Find the remainder when N is divided by 1000.
Leading zeroes must be inputted, so if your answer is 34, then input 034
