Re: [OT] Mysterious function.

I used node.js to produce some interesting edge cases. The values on the left were plugged into this confusing function and the values on the right are the results of the function.

0        = 2500
24999    = 2500
25000    = 5000
49999    = 5000
50000    = 12500
149999   = 12500
150000   = 25000
224999   = 25000
225000   = 37500
299999   = 37500
300000   = 60000
599999   = 60000
600000   = 120000
1199999  = 120000
1200000  = 300000
3599999  = 300000
3600000  = 600000
5399999  = 600000
5400000  = 900000
10799999 = 900000
10800000 = 1800000
21599999 = 1800000
21600000 = 3600000

Perhaps you can make some heads or tails out of the pattern, but i cannot. I sincerely hope this helps, however.

Thanks. You inspired a way to work out the transition points: <Reveal this spoiler or all in this thread> I used node.js to produce some interesting edge cases.

Excellent! :) Yes, node.js allows you to run JS at the command line.
