gollark: n apioforms are to be deployed, where n is the positive solution to $$3x^3-355x^2-2084x-2976$$.
gollark: Of course, it's possible I just made up the achievement thing's existence to make people do stupid stuff.
gollark: I don't think they actually care. Sad!
gollark: I am sure it will be found in time.
gollark: I added yet another exciting achievement.
