ok, the difference between the 1st and 5th sailors coconut bounty (anyone get that) is 369
the average coconut total of the 5 is 623.2 if that helps too
good luck figuring it out

lol, do you want the answer then?
Sure, put me out of my misery.....I am spent !![]()
Total coconuts: 3121
Everyone got during the final distribution: 204
================================================
Expanding on the ideas above...
Note: this is the answer with the smallest value...
3121 = 624 * 5 + 1
2496 = 499 * 5 + 1
1996 = 399 * 5 + 1
1596 = 319 * 5 + 1
1276 = 255 * 5 + 1
1020 = 204 * 5 + 0
Hope I did not make a mistake that I don't see right now. And you'd think someone would say something about the fact that the pile when they wake up is about a third the size it was when they went to sleep! And the sailors are not by any means "equally guilty." The distribution of coconuts is as follows:You'd at least think the 5th sailor would have something to say about that. And just what, exactly, are they going to do with hundreds of coconuts each? They'd get tired of them long before they finished them. I think the monkey has the right idea: 5 coconuts is a good number. You can only eat so many coconuts (if I was on that island, you can bet your ass there’d be a big ol’ monkey barbeque going on.)
- 1st sailor: 828
- 2nd sailor: 703
- 3rd sailor: 603
- 4th sailor: 523
- 5th sailor: 459

things are quiet until hitler decides he'd like to invade russia
so, he does
the russians are like "OMG WTF D00DZ, STOP TKING"
and the germans are still like "omg ph34r n00bz"
the russians fall back, all the way to moscow
and then they all begin h4xing, which brings on the russian winter
the germans are like "wtf, h4x"
-- WW2 for the l33t
