May 15, 2014 at 20:34 comment added AJ Henderson It's probably easier to graphically represent it if you start from meekest with your numbering to keep it consistent since that is actually what matters in the problem. Each meek pirate has to be offered more than they could get in any further iteration, which may actually make 1 gold insufficient at > 400 as well potentially.
May 15, 2014 at 20:15 comment added Ross Millikan Sorry, I had a typo (200 instead of 100 coins) That means your 400's are correct and the interesting case is >400
May 15, 2014 at 18:29 comment added Kevin Hmm. I'll have to take a closer look at N > 200 later then.
