Abstract
Let be the th Catalan number. For any prime we show that the set contains all residues mod . In addition all residues are attained infinitely often. Any positive integer can be expressed as the product of central binomial coefficients modulo . The directed sub-graph of the automata for consisting of the constant states and transitions between them has a cycle which visits all vertices.
