Reminds me of the fact that in 1v1 tournament situations involving everyone on earth, you're only 33 battles away from being world champion.

Not sure if I understood the question, but 961?

If correct, I don't want the bonus because I find that one somewhat unfair.

Your math is absolutely correct!
It was a joke bonus as it was, but if you had used it, we would have worked something out.

 

[dogmeat]

Well, I want Bagrovor in my semi

Despite feeling strongly about my current entry, I think I've stumbled upon a song where I was never so sure halfway through that I need to send it to NSC.

17/3

 

[soundofsilence]

Ok
@ferret your turn
Divide
5x4-9x3+x2-3x+40 by x-6

 

[soundofsilence]

Ok
@ferret your turn
Divide
5x4-9x3+x2-3x+40 by x-6

The x are variables
The numbers immediately after them eg 4 in 5x4 are exponents

 

[soundofsilence]

The answer is

5x3+21x2+27x+759+(4794/x-6)
Now find the upper and lower bounds of the polynomial in post 57

7.5

That's right! The bonus is yours.
