51. Hope that's enough to get me over the line. You did well, congrats!

Yeah that will comfortably see you through. Even in "normal" years (even though going by recent trends in 2014 and 2015, this seems to be the new normal) 50+ is a selection.

[amalgamateking]

once you solve this eq:

(nCk)p^k(1-p)^n-k = (nCk+1)p^k+1(1-p)^n-k-1

you will get something like k = (n+1)p - 1


Now k is definitely a whole number, so (n+1)p is definitely an integer

Obviously yes. You will get through.
