This is weird. I've gotten my prize of 674 NP, but the LC is still open for submissions. 674 NP should mean 2968-2971 people got it correct. I was going to post the solution, but I'll wait on that until they actually close it.

Okay, they closed it. The answer for last week was "Mrs. Prenderghast"
Alright thanks, I thought so but it kept saying "next Wednesday" which got me confused.

Roxton Colchester has 4967 coins. Suppose he divides those coins into several coin pouches so that if you ask for any whole number of coins between 1 and 4967, he can give you the proper amount by giving you a certain number of pouches. What is the minimum number of pouches required for him to do this?
