CB scavenger hunt plus math quiz (in Contests)

First part of the challenge is to find the values you'll need to complete the equation.

Everything can be found on the Carnage Blender web site.

A = Number of Full-size (480x60) banners shown in "Carnage Blender >> Banners"

B = networth of chain mail leggings (+12)

C = Networth of a mithril Cuirass (+26)

D = Number of old Public Record threads listed for May 2005

E = Number of votes needed for a Katana to make it spawn from the blackmarket

F = Minimum number of lines of chat you can select in the preferences panel in carnage blender settings

Once you find these 6 numbers, just plug them into their locations in the formula below and solve (round down to the nearest whole number)

First person with the correct answer wins the correct answer in CB$.

{ [ (B x D) - (C x E) ] x (F / 100) }
--------------------------------------- = The winner's prize money :-)
(A x 2)

Just in case this doesn't display right (don't know why it wouldn't, but anyway), or in case the way I wrote it confuses anyone.

Step 1 - Multiply 'B' times 'D'
Step 2 - Multiply 'C' times 'E'
Step 3 - Subtract the answer you got for step 2 from step 1
Step 4 - Divide 'F' by 100
Step 5 - Multiply your answer from Step 3 by your answer from Step 4
Step 6 - Multiply 'A' by 2
Step 7 - Divide your answer from Step 5 by your answer from step 6 and round down to the nearest whole number.

Have fun any who choose to do this :-) Winner is the first person to respond with the correct answer.

yep - tricky tricky. Good job. That was fun though, someone should hold one that is really intricate for millions of CB. (Cough cough G_Beee)
