At minimum, (c2) block([keepfloat : true],linsolve(2*n/(5*n+1) = 0.3985))

(d2) [n = 53.1321]

(c3) ceiling(subst(%,5*n+1))

(d3) 267 at bats.

55 from 138 is 0.39855. So is 138 the improbable number of 'at bats'? Disclaimer - I have no idea how the deviant version of rounders that Westpondians play works.
