Abstract: Recently the first author proved a congruence proposed in 2006 by Adamchuk: $$ for any prime $p=1pmod3$. In this paper, we provide more examples (with proofs) of congruences of the same kind ${\displaystyle }$sum_{k=1}^{lfloorfrac{ap}{r} floor}�inom{2k}{k}x^k pmod{p^2}${\displaystyle }$ where $p$ is a prime such that $pequiv1pmodr$, $a/r$ is a fraction in $(1/2,1)$ and $x$ is a $p$-adic integer. The key ingredients are the $p$-adic Gamma functions $Gamm{a}_p$ and a special class of computer-discovered hypergeometric identities.
