Well if that don't beat all.

The first thousand was a bit slow, but it's picking up now!

.bit= far be it
I was thinking: A bit on the side!
Rap:
if so (3n)^2=4p^3
and least n and p is
n=18, p=9
so the number of rats is 3m^3=972
next solution is m=144, p=36
and the number of rats is 62208
Thoh:
and the next highest rat number is 708588
Let c be the number of rats.
Then c = (1/3)n^2 for some integer n, which makes n divisible by 3.
Let n = 3m for some integer m.
Then, we get c = 3m^2.
When a quarter is gone we are left with (3/4)c = (9/4)m^2.
This number must be a cube, say, k^3 for some integer k.
We then get m^2 = (4/9)k^3.
Or, m = (2/3)k^(3/2), which makes k divisible by 3.
The smallest such k is 9, which makes m = 18 and c = 972.
Thus, the smallest number of rats is 972.

Meanwhile
down at the sweatshop Try had his first customer of the day, who happened to be a friend. When she was done, he refused to take the money from her. The friend said, "Look, I know we're friends, but, business is business. I want to pay for it."
Try said, "Here's what we'll do. You open the cash register. I don't have any idea how much money is in there. But, you match whatever is in there, and then take out 20 bucks." The cutie says, "Okay," and she does that.
Try says, "Gee, I kind of like this." So, the next customer comes in, she gets her wish, and Try says, "You can do the same thing my first customer did. Open the cash register, match what's in there, and then take out 20 bucks."
The second sweetie does that, and she leaves. The third customer does the same
The fourth customer, after receiving her special wish, opens the cash register, and says, "I can't do it."
Try, slightly outta breath says, "Why not?"
"There's no money in here. Not a cent
."
"What the ****" said Try, I gave each one a total lube job, performed professionally!"$%^&*

The question is; how much money was in there at the start
