Re: Problem 238
Yeah, my algorithm's all up to speed now & I confirm the results of everyone else. I think I see what the error might have been for mastro (Redundant p(0)'s maybe?).
ex ~100%'er... until the gf came along.

Re: Problem 238
OK, there was a mistake. We're on the case. We hope to release a revised (and correct) version of the problem soon.
Thank you for drawing this to our attention.

Re: Problem 238
To help people reading here, it's enough to subtract p(0) from right side of partial answersNB: The first posts in this topic refer to an earlier version of problem #238, which unfortunately had an error.
To fix it, the problem statement was modified. As a result, the (partial) answers posted below are no longer valid.

Ciao.
Marco aka Taifu.
P.S. Come on, you have to know how much p(0) is
