<p>Ok, I’ve got it. For n=50 pirates the correct solution is:</p>
<p>72, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 2, 2</p>
<p>Assuming I didn’t make any mistakes typing that.</p>
<p>Also, at 196 it takes all your gold just to stay alive. if there’s more than 197 pirates you’re finished.</p>
