Are you sure that's the right equation? If the ratio of a kid's fortune to that
of a poorer kid is always an int:
k6 (sixth richest) / k7 = int OR k7 * int = k6
That means that the full equation simplifies to:
t + tu + tuv + tuvw + tuvwx + tuvwxy + tuvwxyz = 2879 OR t^7 + u^6 + v^5 + w^4 +
x^3 + y^2 + z = 2879
I don't _even_ want to figure that polnomial on my own, and my stupid 86 is only
giving me complex solutions ;). Each kid's fortune is, then, the product of terms
in the first equation (t, tu, tuv, etc...)
