Abstract
In 1992 Strauss, Shallit and Zagier proved that for any positive integer we have and furthermore 3^{-2a}}\sum_{k=0}^{3^a-1}\binom{2k}k=1 (mod 3). Recently a -analogue of the former congruence was conjectured by Guo and Zeng. In this paper we prove the Guo-Zeng conjecture and also give a -analogue of the latter congruence.
