A Game!

[jtwhite]

So,

I'm willing to donate each and every one of my credits to the person who can crack a small algorithm I made.

You can play around with it here: http://justinsnetwork.com/algorithm.php

4 different things happen to the number

Hints:

• The only number which is not constant is the one you enter.
• 1. The number you enter is first multiplied by something.
• 2. A Number is then added to the number you enter.
• 3. The new number (result of step 2) is divided by 137.
• 4. The result of the 3rd step is then subtracted by another number.

Have fun!

I got the answer.

The number that you multiply by is 140.
The number you add is -54630.
The number you divide by (given) is 137.
The number you subtract is 0.

That's not exactly the answer but it is a solution which would work so I'll accept it. Good job! :P

At the time of this posting I have 5.031 credits, I will now donate those.

EDIT: Proof of transaction

Whoa...

Did you not expect anyone to get it or something? o_O

5031 credits is a lot...

I didn't expect anybody to get it but I knew it was possible, :P.

I just got kinda bored. Oh well, now I can work on getting those back.

Edit: If you don't care, leave iTrader feedback.

There are actually multiple solutions to it.

Once I become a Community Paragon, I'll start having more contests and sweepstakes with forum credits.

Aha, I see a fellow "I don't really want credits so I'll give them all away" forum member!
Nothing on the rewards list I actually want, though. Way it's going at the moment, $25 could possibly buy a beer... But, if you're on here that much to get 25,000 credits, to quote Bryon... "Get a job" ;)
