I should have never opened this thread. Damn you Necro! This thing is going to plague me now.

I'm not even gonna try it. It's a nice puzzle though, I just don't like doing math.
man Xaven
did you derive or did you graph the original, because deriving this would have a chain of like 1543443264326

OMG! Xaven is right. I had it when I said I had up to four pirates and just didn't realize it. (SPOILER)I just got to 2496 and said, "oh, that doesn't work because 2496/4 = 624 and I need a number that ends in 9" forgetting that all I had to do was multiply 624 by 5 then add one to get the answer rather than continuing on another step. I just worked it out by trial and error, recognizing some patterns so I really only had to try about 15 sets of numbers.
Anyone want my work?
Yes!

I made a grid like so:
(SPOILER)
3121 | 624
2496 | 499
1996 | 399
1596 | 319
1276 | 255
of course I got to top right and said "oh, this won't work" even though I was one step from the answer, because I am dumb.

Is that how it works in Staff, too?
Whoops. Just deleted my post. Del, can you put it back?

That deleted post was brilliantly timed.
Good job, Xaven. You shall now forever be known in my heart as a good man.
And here they are, big as ever.
Tada? Yeah, not too impressive.
The other picture is of the other side of the paper which I did first. I didn't quite know what I was doing at the time hence the unposted scribbles.
so is there a more direct way to solve this other than trial and error? Some solution involving modular arithmetic?
