Saints Row 2

Ok... so the whole point in getting this achievement is earning money in your stash. All these solutions are great solutions and can, in time, earn you the achievement.

Myself, IIISetIII, Bucknut Kevin, and Manifest95 have come up with an alternative solution.

Of course, there are 32 total multiplayer badges, 20 of which are non-ranked badges that you can boost in player match. The other 12 are ranked badges that you have to play in ranked matches to earn money to advance in that badge scale.

My final stat is 49:02:31 total multiplayer play time. That does not count the time in between match set ups.

Here is the list of ranked badges:

1 New Jack $0
2 Thug $2,500
3 Killa $10,000
4 Gangsta $25,000
5 Soldier $55,000
6 Assassin $105,000
7 Enforcer $187,500
8 Dominator $310,000
9 Terminator $501,250
10 Executioner $776,250
11 Kingpin $1,198,125
12 Kingpin of Kingpins $2,198,125

A list of all non-ranked badges are posted at the bottom of this solution.

I am going to explain the IDEAL solution for the 12 RANKED badges.

1. First thing you will need is someone that is capable of bridging host so that you will not have to deal with random players. Kind of like a ranked player match. Not mandatory, but very, very highly suggested. If you do not have one, you can still go by this strategy with the chance of having to deal with randoms and making your sessions last longer..

2. Ideal total of players playing is 4. This is the minimum to start a match. Set up 2 parties of 2.

3.The bridger will search first and secure a lobby (as most bridgers already know this.) The best map so far that I have used so far is Ranked>Strong Arm>Oldtown. It's a realativly smaller map compared to the others.

4. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DO ANY OF THE ACTIVITIES!!!! VERY IMPORTANT. Winnings that your team earns for winning an activity adds to your team total and does not count towards YOUR personal earnings in the game, thus affecting your stash in the end. The activities are Racing, Snatch, Mayhem and Insurance Fraud.

**EDIT** I stand corrected. Winnings do go towards your ingame cash, although, not doing the activities helps keep things even across the board.

5. At the start of the match, Team A will kill Team B a total of 25 times per player. Once that amount is reached, Team B will then take over and kill Team A 25 times per player. Once both teams reach 25 kills per player, Team A will kill Team B a total of 5 times per player. Again, once that amount is reached, Team B will take over again killing Team A 5 times per player. That will put both teams at $90,000 for the match.

If all goes as planned, each player will be able to get 3 more kills each, totaling 33 kills per player, which earns each player $49,500 in-game money. The percentage out of the $49,500 that goes towards your stash depends on the rank of the player. This will equally maximize each players stash per match.

Each team should take turns on who will will the overall match, typically the team that gets the first kills, since there is a win bonus added towards your stash.

Tips:
-Some of the non ranked player badges you could earn using this strategy are: Trigger Happy, Brain Surgeon, Mass Murder, No Questions Asked, Leadfoot, Assault and Battery, Track Star, Original Gangsta, Team Spirit, Pimp, Nut Job, and Regulator.

-If you go for the non ranked badges listed above, you will not maximize this solution.

-Avoid shooting pimps

-Avoid shooting from or into the Mayhem scoring area or let stray bullets strike the vehicles marked with the red arrows. Every so often, you get reward bonuses for doing a specific task during this activity (destroying big cars, destroying luxury cars, etc.) One of the bonuses is "receive a bonus for killing enemy players." You will receive $514 per enemy that you kill. Pay particular attention when the activity starts, and when the Mayhem area moves. You will see what will result in a bonus on your screen during those times. If killing players to receive a bonus happens, pause this strategy and trade kill for kill so that you will end in a tie for the activity. Resume this strategy after the activity is over.

-Do not run through any of the money spheres during the Racing Activity. (This is iffy. We have tested this where all players collecting one money sphere and there was still no bonus awarded at the end of the activity. More than likely because no one finished the race.)

-Reload your weapon after each kill so that you do not run out of ammo in the middle of killing the next person. Time is money.

-Do not use the mini-gun, shotgun, or pistol. These weapons take to long to kill someone.

-Do not spray any of the tags, with the exception of the sprint tag (only one team needs it for the entire match; do not purposely search for it) and 2x kill bonus tag ( search for it immediately and teams trade off using this tag with each player getting only 1 kill before spraying and 15 kills each after spraying.) That means DO NOT spray the money tag.

Non-ranked badges:


1. Road Rage - Kill 30 players with a vehicle impact.
Just be in a car and hit and kill other players who are NOT on your team. Make sure the kill icon is a picture of a car. 30 of these will not be hard at all.

2. Trigger Happy - Empty 250 clips by firing continuously (1 trigger pull per clip).
During a party match get double semi-pistols with unlimited ammo on and keep shooting for about 15 minutes and you should get the badge after the game. Easy to get legit if you play online a lot. You must unload the full clip and make the gun auto-reload for it to count.

3. Brain Surgeon - Kill 100 players with a headshot.
Get a sniper rifle and aim at the head and shoot and kill them. It is a 1 hit kill. You do not need the sniper rifle but it is recommended.

4. Burnout - Kill 15 players by lighting them on fire.
Use the flamethrower or Molotov cocktail to kill 15 players and make sure it shows the symbol of the weapon you used.

5. Mass Murder - Score 10 Multikills (Kill another player within one second of getting a kill).
To get a multi-kill just kill 2-3 people in less than 1 second of the first kill. It may seem hard, but it really is simple. If you run two people over at once it will count as a multi-kill. You will get this by just playing online and in player matches.

6. No Questions Asked - Play in 10 matches where you score at least 20 kills.
Just play 10 matches and set kill limit to 25 with unlimited time. With your partner, both get 20+ kills then finish the match. Do this 10 times and you will have the badge.

7. Leadfoot - Spend 1000 seconds racing in first place.
1000 seconds is about 17 minutes. During a Strong Arm game, the activity has to be Racing. Be in first for 17 minutes total and you will have this badge. Can be done in Party Mode, just make it so Racing is the only activity. Go through 1 checkpoint and you will be in first.

8. Saint Picasso - Finish 150 tags.
You might not get this after 100 tags, for some people it has taken over 250 tags. Just have you and your partner keep re-tagging the same tag. Your partner has to be on the opposite team. Best done while going for "Leadfoot".

9. Assault and Battery - Kill 30 players with non-pimp slap melee attacks.
To do this just make it show a fist when you kill someone on the bottom left part of the screen. To do that, hit when they are about to die, this will count as a bare hand kill. Make sure you have 30 of these, you might accidentally get some non bare hand kills, so make sure to count all 30.

10. Fully Loaded - Spend 300 seconds with all your weapon slots filled.
300 seconds is 5 minutes. When you press make sure every slot is full. You do not have to have dual-wielding.

11. Track Star - Spend 6000 seconds sprinting.
6000 seconds is 100 minutes, or 1 hour 40 minutes. 100 minutes of sprinting is a lot. Turn on unlimited sprint and boost every other badge. Do not drive in any car just sprint everywhere you go. You should get this around your 15th badge.

12. Original Gangsta - Play 10 ranked matches.
Just play 10 ranked matches, win or loose, it does not matter.

13. Team Spirit - Kill 10 players with the pimp slap.
Get 10 kills with the Pimp Finger. The Pimp Finger is a foam finger with the middle finger up.

14. Pimp - Play 20 matches.
All you have to do is play 20 matches. Can be ranked or custom/party. You will get this over time, and most likely get this while boosting for badges.

15. Demo Demon - Drive 10 cars until they catch on fire, and remain in them until they explode.
To get this badge, you have to get someone to shoot your car until it catches on fire and drive off while your car is on fire and then you blow up in it. What I did was shoot my car until it had black smoke then got on a long street and had my friend stand halfway down the street. I drove slowly down the street and he shot my car, once it caught on fire he stopped shooting and I started to accelerate. I then just drove and blew up. Getting 10 of these will be easy.

16. Nut Job - Kill 100 players with a nutshot.
Get a sniper rifle and shoot someone in the nuts 100 times. It takes 3 shots in the nuts to kill them. They will grab there nuts when they die, that will count as 1 nushot. Girls have nuts. You do not need the sniper rifle but it is recommended and you will not get the Aww Nuts! achievement for doing this.

17. Party Animal - Host and win 1 Party Lobby.
Host a party match and win it.

18. Regulator - End 5 matches with over $30,000 in personal earnings.
Make a Strong Arm game and set the score to $50,000. Play the activities and win the match. Do this for 5 times. You will get this easily and quickly.

19. Arr… - Play a multiplayer match on September 19th (International Talk Like a Pirate Day) or December 5th (Day of the Ninja).
--Play multiplayer on September 19th or December 5th. You just have to plan this out and play on one of those 2 days.

20. Wrecking Crew - Earn over $50,000 lifetime earnings in Mayhem and/or Demolition Derby.
Set a Strong Arm game to $100,000 and turn off everything but Mayhem. Make sure to have unlimited ammo. When the game starts make sure you have pipebombs and a rocket launcher. Go to the location and throw pipebombs everywhere. When luxory cars start to show up, blow them up with the rocket. You will make $50,000 in less than 10 minutes this way.

Purpose of post is to share this observation while playing Strongarm to earn cash for my rank badges. Each rank has it's own percentage cut which you take from your in game earnings. I've not seen anything else simliar posted elsewhere so thought I would list it here.

These percentages relate to matches your team won. Losing side earns a lower percentage.

$ = Estimated earnings with $25,000 personal earnings on the winning team.

New Jack------1.2% $300
Thug------------1.8% $450
Killa-------------2.4% $600
Gangsta--------3.6% $900
Solider---------4.8% $1200
Assassin--------6.6% $1650
Enforcer-------8.4% $2100
Dominator-----10.8% $2700
Terminator----13.2% $3300
Executioner---will update in a while
Kingpin---------**
K of K----------**

** I don't have to play past Executioner to get my kingpin achievement so I might not be able to complete the figures for kingpin and KOK.

HELP HELP
Could any kingpins or king of kingpins help me please? Could you please email with the amount you earned 'in game' and how much you took home for your stash so I can calculate the earning percentage. Hope someone can help. If not I'll just have to keep playing.

The most Ive earned in a single match is about $7,400 from $56,000 in game earning as a Dominator.

These are rough figures. Simply a guide so you know what you have to look forward to when you are a new jack earning $200 per game.

Thank you for reading

I don't know who discovered it or suggested it to me but I have found an easier and faster solution to boosting the ranked badges. This is way faster than the killing solution. It may seem difficult but try it out and you'll be a money making machine in no time.

Get a game of 2v2 (boosters) together and play on "trailer park" (a map that less people have) NOTE: Trailer Park is a part of the "Ultor Exposed" DLC.

When it begins one team will be the "idle" team. They will find and spray the money tag at the beginning. The "killing" team will go and find any of the following badges (if they're on the map): Super Sprint, 2x bonus kill, or Accuracy spray (only if you happen to find it, don't go out of your way to track it down) do not bother with anything else and if you do see other sprays, don't spray them. Especially not smokescreen, that shit's annoying.

Now the idle team will let themselves die to the killing team. The idle team and killing team members will run and find each other. Remember it's very important to note how much $ each killing team member has because you don't want to go over it. Each killing team member can get 33 kills each for a total of $49,5000 each or $99,000 total. While this is happening the idle team will win all of the activities (even after you switch). Here's what you should do in each activity if you're the idle team (these are the only activities that trailer park offers):

Racing: Don't do it. It takes too long. The good news about Racing is that everyone spawns really close to the checkpoint they need next (DON'T go through them).

Destruction Derby: Do enough to win, maybe $500 or so.

Insurance Fraud: The idle team will need to win this (so keep your eyes peeled on the amounts), but both teams can get a lot of cash for this one fast. Try to drive a few cars to the middle then get a running start and hit LB, bounce a few times then land on the ground for an easy $2500. However, if you have the x2 kill on then don't bother going for this and just let the idle team get enough to win (a few hundred)

Mayhem: Do enough to win, but sometimes for half the event there will be a "killing bonus" which will award the killing team $500 extra dollars if they kill the idle team. If this happens the idle team starts killing the killing team until this bonus goes away so they can win (it's only up for a few minutes).

Finally when the killing team is done killing the idle team will take over the killing and will win. They will keep the money tag and spray the following: x2 kill, accuracy, and maybe pimp slap for fun (or to work on your pimp slap badge, be sure to check that your boosting buddies don't mind!), don't bother with the sprinting spray because as long as one team can sprint to the other it will go fast. Switch off with team members who gets the "top earner" spot because being the top earner awards some extra money in addition to the winning bonus. You should be done with each match around the middle to end of the 4th activity (it will go faster if you get the x2 badge).

Final words:
After doing this tons of times averagely I found that my matches get finished every 14-15 minutes, 10-12 if you got the x2 spray. So $49,500 minimum per player multiplied by the % of each rank (see SmokiestDadn's solution) will net you your amount. Being a dominator when I did this I was getting more than $5000 per match which means in about an hour you can get $20000 at minimum if you are a dominator. I found that with the killing solution (having one team win by killing and the other just dying) we always timed out and never got close to the max $ per team. This solution ensures the most equal way to boost without having one group get too much more money than the other.

I would like to thank Nip 3 O, MR W0DERFUL, CasperTC, Spookyville, helryxs, Feytelein, & MulticronX for helping me to perfect this method.

With all the solutions posted, you might think that all methods have been discussed. We have found another and believe it to be the quickest to achieve the Rank Badges.

• 
  60% FASTER XP GAIN *
  

The Kingpin achievement requires that you obtain 30 badges. There are 20 non-ranked badges that can be obtained in private, non-ranked matches. The balance, however, must come from online, ranked matches. Our solution is to help with the ranked badges. Please see other solutions for non-ranked badge suggestions.

As with other Strong Arm solutions posted, our goal is to get a player to $100,000. Our twist is to have 2 players get roughly $100,000 each in one match.

Establish a session of 4 players. Create two game parties with two players each. Each group will search for a ranked Strong Arm match on Trailer Park - Ultor Exposed DLC. Else, you can search for Oldtown. The DLC reduces chances of randoms. If, however, they find you, have both teams quit searching, wait a minute or two and then try again. We find they leave after a couple quits.

Killing team mates should stand together so that dying team knows where to run upon spawn. With the 2X Kill, a kill counts for $3,000. Without it a kill is $1,500. When the first player reaches $93,000, the team mate of the next killer should be heading for the 2X Kill tag ready to re-tag. This allows two players in a match to benefit from the 2X Kill tag instead of one per match.

Pimp Slap for the killing team is helpful just as Sprint is for the dying side. However, don't go out of your way to tag them. On the Trailer Park map, we found the best place to congregate was inside the dinosaur car sculpture in front of the garbage bin. Have all dying players run to that location. Each player should get their kills within 2 rounds of activities. Race is the best since players spawn at the dinosaur if they ran (not in car) through the starting marker.

Note that a player does not earn $100,000 toward the ranked badges. Depending on your current rank, a certain percentage of $100,000 applies. There is a solution posted here detailing the ranks and take home percentage for each. NO ONE DO ACTIVITIES! Winning such will reduce your take home pay.

UPDATE: MAYHEM is an activity requiring a little extra attention. MAYHEM is 3 minutes long broken up into two equal time segments. You will be warned 15 seconds prior to the start of each segment. At the same time, you will be told what the bonus condition will be for that segment. The bonus condition can earn a player an activity specific score whether in or out of the zone which will lead to winning the activity - a no no for this solution. So don't do them! Of particular importance is the condition: "Get bonus for destroying Enemy Team". When that condition appears, kill no one and wait out the segment. Resume killing when the next segment starts or the MAYHEM activity ends. The bonus condition and zone location will change during the second segment. No matter where the zone is located, never do anything in it.
~ ^{Thanks to MARCHEEZY84 for this update.}

Can be done with a 2 hour session and more players - preferably an even number. If you do not purchase anything, you may track your progress by viewing your available funds in the store section of the multiplayer menu.

^{Above method still being perfected by https://www.trueachievements.com/TheJiveGoblin.htm, Plaguewielder87, https://www.trueachievements.com/StriderLGNs.htm, mrbellek and NonKosherSalt. We will edit or add in the comments any refinements. Questions or comments are welcomed.}

A large number of the badges can be boosted in custom party games. However, if you want to get the Kingpin achievement (30 badges) you might as well play Strong Arm and earn enough money to reach the rank of Executioner before you start boosting as you will no doubt earn (or contribute towards) a bunch of the other badges along the way.

There is an excellent break down of how to earn money in Strong Arm here:

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?t=12...

Once you've reached the rank of Executioner you can then party up with friends and use this guide to work on the remaining badges:

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?t=97...

One of the badges that deserves a special mention is "Arr.." which you can only get on one of two days of the year, namely September 19th (International Talk Like a Pirate Day) or December 5th (Day of the Ninja). If you don't get this badge you will need to gain a further ranked badge which essentially means earning another $420,000!

I would first like to add that this is ONLY to get RANK for Kingpin, to find badges please look at the other posts.

Idea 1
XP is given based on what you do in the match, however you are not required to do anything and still make 'some' XP. Thanks to the help of Van Uden it has been confirmed, you do NOT even need to play to get your rank. If you have a turbo controller you can start a party on your own, and set the A button to go off. This will "start search" for you on its on, have you stand around for the match and at the end, clicks A yet again to end the match, and return you to your party lobby...where it first selects "start search" again. Using this method you can get your rank up without having to play. Yes it goes slower but it is a way to level.

Idea 2
If you can find a full group of people of 8 people (counting yourself) You can make groups of 4v4. Before starting the search make sure both teams are picking the same map. Normally both teams find each other instantly without trouble. Go into the match and have one team quit out. The other team still in gets XP, rinse and repeat to farm "server quits" as XP.

Idea 3
Get a full group together and start 4v4 just as you would for server quits but this time take turns getting kills. Major XP is given out if only 1 or 2 people on each team is killing. If one person gets all 100K and wins the game we were reporting gettting 10K+ per match at Enforcer Rank.

Special thanks to YourResidentDJ, xGSMxNIGHTMAREx, Van Uden, TuftyAlx312, tomwood1991, I Am4z1n9 AZ I, Grufalo and Dimmock for helping me test each "idea".

Everyone thinks that this Achievement is the most boring one to get and it's most time-consuming.

You need a total of 30 Multiplayer Badges in total for Kingpin.
There are 20 Regular Badges which you can boost on Private Matches with your friends.
And there are 12 Rank Badges altogether but you need only 10 and the last Rank Badge you need is Executioner for the Kingpin Achievement to unlock.

One of the only Regular Badges you would need to keep a close eye on is Arr... and to get that, you need to play Multiplayer on September 19th OR December 5th.

NOTE #1 To acquire the Arr.. Badge, you can win or loose a Ranked Match, DOES NOT matter.

Also, if your one of those people who forget, you can play the game on September 18th and move the clock forward to +14 on the Time Zone. OR you can play the game on September 20th and put the clock to -12.

AND if you have still didn't remember to play on September, you can put the clock forward to +14 on December 4th on the Time Zone.
OR you can play the game on December 6th and put the clock to
-12.

To change the Time Zone: -

1) Go onto the Xbox 360 Dashboard
2) Select 'My Xbox', and move along to 'System Settings'
3) Select 'Console Settings'
4) And finally, select 'Clock' then 'Time Zone'

If you have forgotten to play the Multiplayer on those 2 different dates, then you would need to get the next Ranked up Badge, which is Kingpin.

The choice is yours. You can either wait till next year to get the Arr... Badge OR you can simply play more Multiplayer and get that last Ranked Badge you need.

The estimated time of getting the Kingpin Achievement (without boosting), it will take you about 2- 3 weeks of playing Strong Arm for around 10 Hours a day. It really does depend on how desperate are you of getting the Achievement and are you one of those people who are very patient of getting time-consuming Achievements??

Don't bother looking onto the Leaderboards of how much money you've got because the Leaderboards are messed up. You would need to look into your Wardrobe of how much money you have in your Stash and you can work out how much more money you need as well.

Also what SINxCITY said; you can actually use a Turbo controller (VERY GOOD GUIDE) but in my personal opinion, its better if you actually play the game for 10 hours a day and you will get more money, instead of leaving your Xbox 360 on and walk away.

REMEMBER The higher the Rank you are, the more money adds to your stash at the end of a match.


A Few Tips Online: -

>>> Always, always, always play Strong Arm. Team Gangsta Brawl and Gangsta Brawl are pointless, and you don't get enough money into your stash.

>>> When you start a Match on Strong Arm, and the teams are uneven; e.g. 2 on 1, then don't leave the match because if those 2 random people on the other team, they might be 'New Jacks' and that means they are noobs and when you win the match against them, you get extra cash at the end because the Teams were uneven.

>>> Don't bother spraying the Regenerator Tag because it's not actually your money your earning, it's better if you earn the most cash in your team and do most of the Activities.

>>> When you start Strong Arm with 'Kingpin of Kingpins' (which is the highest Rank) on the other team, 9 out of 10, you will get owned!!!! so I suggest that you might have to quit the Match, or if you think you're brave, then you can take them on!!!! (I honestly don't know why there are people still play this game, even though they are the highest Rank.)

>>> Try your very best to try and get the Rocket Launcher because if you don't get it, then the other team will and they will piss you off.

>>> My advice to you, is don't bother buying any Clothes in your Wardrobe because it will confuse you of how much money you need left. (if you decide to buy clothes then DON'T WORRY, this will NOT affect your Rank.)

Here is a very good link that seems to be very popular from X360a and has helped me in a good deal and to help to track down how much more money you need to Rank up and there are some basic info for all of the Regular Badges as well to boost: -

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?t=97...

Below is a video, showing you a full list of the Rank and Public badges.

I also like to thank the Youtube user for uploading their video.

I hope this helps everyone and good gaming.

Cheers.

Before you give me a negative vote, please explain yourself why you did it and I will be more than happy to improve my solution. Thank You.

Just a simple addendum to the information already available here.
When I was doing this (without boosting), I eventually got to the point where I would idle through any game that was clearly stacked against me.

If you end up with you and a New Jack vs 4 people with clan tags and matching badges, don't bother actually playing the round, but stay anyway. They'll quickly finish the match, and you'll always get money for participating. If the teams end up stacked in your favor, go forth and ruin the other team for "real" money.

You might annoy people on your team with idling, but the vast majority of people on SR2 strong arm just quit anyway if they think they are losing. Enemy players may even give you GOOD reviews, as I did this a couple times to people I ended up against who were idling, so I could end up fighting them more often. But then I also ended up on their team a lot, in which case I would just idle too.

Normally I don't suggest this sort of thing, but as I watched a guy I saw idling shooting up through the ranks faster that I was legitimately (probably from leaving his xbox on constantly), I thought I'd give it a shot. I was also inspired to do this due to the fact that Strong Arm games are almost always unbalanced teams. If you have a controller that can press A for you automatically, it could even rejoin the games for you and you could idle while sleeping or not at home.

short version: idle unless you think you can win. getting to the end of a game ALWAYS gives you money towards your rank, quitting is only wasting your time and the time of other people.

For those that double-box:


Game type: Ranked
Game mode: Strong Arm
Map: Oldtown

If you're winning, it's well worth quitting out your second account once the match begins, hitting up the money tag (always available), the 2x kill bonus, and winning all activities (excluding races)

Winning activities nets you $10,000. It would usually split it for each member of the team, but being that you're the sole player, you get it all - making matches go quicker and maximizing your income

One person goes straight to $100.000 to win the match, then the other player the next match and so on

Could also potentially be done with 4-players, rotating who gets to idle for 10mins after each match, but this is an ideal method for double-boxers

Credit to user Sir NoahLot 122 for the solution

Also, credit to all other solutions on setting the foundation

This solution only deals with earning cash for the ranked badges. I don’t know if this way is faster than other methods, but you will have a little idle time. This can be done with 2 people with two 360’s, 2 copies of the game, and the Ultor Exposed dlc. Ideally you want 1 more person on the winning team then you will have on the losing(dummy account) team, example 3 on winning side and 2 dummies on losing side.
First, party up the accounts that you want to level up, preferably run by the person who is not using an extra 360, then search ranked match> strong arm> trailer park. With the dummy accounts search for the same match type individually, and they should get matched up with your (winning team). After the match starts, quit out with the dummy team and your winning team will get money for winning the match.
The amount you get all depends what rank you are currently at, for example my friends and I walked away with $47,000 in our stash, in less than 2 hours at dominator rank. Your winning team will stay partied up and you just rinse and repeat.
I don’t think this method would be very efficient if you didn’t have the extra 360’s, but you don’t have to worry about what tags randomly generate and you don’t have to run around killing and dying. You can do this method on any strong arm map, but you have a higher risk of finding randoms on the non dlc maps.

Thanks to Yhfgtbfkm and KJer25 for their support and help in creating this method and solution.

Thanks also to the Cleveland Cavaliers, without whom this method would not have been necessary.

Special thanks to NonKosherSalt for his amazingly detailed solution above and for whom I owe the first $250,000 that I earned in this game.

And probably the biggest thanks goes to Psychotic Pat, without his guidance I might never have started this game......................I still owe you buddy. Thanks, young Patrick.
