rmadsen55 is an unknown quantity at this point

anish,
you are correct that you do not need calculus to create the equation of the score (which is a quadratic) but it is necessary to optimize it. in order to find the maximum score for any given number of bins you need to take the derivative of the scoring formula and find the relative maximum.
Perhaps there is another way to optimize it but I am not aware of any.
