Well the way I see it there is no answer. 17 is prime. The only numbers that multiple to equal 17 are 1 and 17. That's the way it works.
it's much easier to just plug into excell and change the decimal until you get very close - I went out 5 decimal places.
they didn't say WHOLE numbers....

It's a decimal I could take a lot of time to explain it but the answer is 1392.
1.280119*13.2800119=17
13.2800119*100=1328.00119
1.2800119*50=64.0006
1328.00119+64.0006=1392.002
round that up to = 1393
they do say round at the end which implies decimals...
just tell me if the equation i'm supposed to solve is y2 +12y - 17 = 0
But the decimals are .0 so you drop them. 1328 + 64 = 1392
entertheste - didn't they say round, not round up? If you just round and it's under .5 you round down usually.
whew, I think I got it right :-) Now just hope I was top 10 - unlikely but crosses fingers. I've gotten that darn top 250 SIX times but no top 10's yet.
should we keep in mind that the answer should be close to the actual price of a Gbomb?

good luck, i'm still just trying to get the avatar.
For some reason I'm feeling sketchy about this, like I'm missing something obvious, but I've worked it out several times and I'm getting the same answer.
I think the first 25 get the gold. First 100 get the silver and the rest get Bronze. I got the Silver twice. But no gold for me yet.

What are you coming up with?
thanks :-) It' becoming an obsessoin to get that champion trophy :-) I wasn't paying attention though this time and I'm not sure how fast after the news was out that I submitted it. Solved it in about 5 minutes but don't know if I was late - sigh
