No, you weren't even close to the first person do try something like that: Linkage.

Ok, I know your game.
the answer is [rnd]/6591 - .010841
This answer will satisfy all answers to the equation.

Right, but wrong. The right equation is RND * 2197 / 3 - 0.01841495 = ?
A / B * C = (A/B) * C = (A*C) / B A / B * C is not equal to A / (B*C) Read the previous pages to know why.

Originally by: Joerd Toastius What the hell is this junk? Left-to-right? What?
Left <-----------> Right
There is a specific order in which to do certain things, but in some cases 2 or more operations have the same priority, in which case you go from left to right.
The reason for this to be discussed is that most ppl have calculated rnd / 3 x (13 x 13 x 13) as rnd / (3 x (13 x 13 x 13)) which is wrong, it should be (rnd x (13 x 13 x 13)) / 3
You perform division operations first, it's as simple as that. There's no priority of symbol ordering, it's just that division is non-commutative and thus convention is just that you essentially treat division ops as bracketed. I've never, ever come across any rule about "left to right" or anything like that. Besides, if you just blindly process LtR you screw up 5 + 10 / 5, which is 7 not 3.
This, incidentally, is why if you're writing proper maths you express division with the dividend on top and the divisor underneath.
You go from left to right when all remaining operations have the same priority. Division has the same priority as multiplication, and addition has the same priority as subtraction.
In your example, 10/5 would have to be done first because / must be done before + , but if it'd have been 5*10/5 then you would have done the multiplication first because it's further to the left (not that it matters in that case, but 5/10*5 is different depending on whether you do it from the left or the multiplication first).

Nice show with the google trick tho.
Actually Rabbit, I think you should stump up with the cash for Galadin Venyaa. He's come up with a solution that matches your problem every time, and it shows the workings on the calculator page. --- Monty Pythons spoof of the EVE Forums; Palin: "Is this the right room for an argument?"

And he was like the third person to do it. Even then it doesn't actually work since the rnd value generated for each post is different. See here and here for the first two who actually embed the answer to the formula into the post using a php generated image rather than just linking to google.

*RANDOM NUMBER for reference purposes is now X.*
(X/6591) - 0.010841495 = 0 [multiply by 6591]
X - 71.45629355 = 0
X = 71.45629355 <truncated of course>
Since there is no definite number due to the random, it can only be defined as X, and assumed that the expression equals zero.
Well, that's the algebraic approach, at least.

Clearly the answer is:
*RANDOM NUMBER for reference purposes is now X.*
(X/6591) - 0.010841495 = 0
For the Nth time today... A / B * C is NOT equal to A / (B*C) (X * 2197 / 3) - 0.010841495 = ? is the right formula, or X * 732,33333 - 0.010841495 if you prefer.
Have fun.

This is the mathproblem which appeared to me when reading and below is the solution:
13 x 13 x 13 = 2197 526862 / 3 x 2197 = 385.838.604,666667 385.838.604,666667 - 1,548785 = 385.838.603,117882 385.838.603,117882 x 0,007 = 2.700.870,22182517
