@ Michelle. I believe that your number will be 42. You would start by dividing 90/5 which is 18, then divide by 6 which is 3, multiply 3 by 9 which is 27 and add 15 to get 42. Now you will have to find out where bonus level 42 is located.

there is a place on the internet that will let you input your equation and will solve it for you. the link is www.mathway.com Hope this helps with doing the quest for everyone!

guys... if you have problems with the math... you don't even need to leave bw2 and go to a different web page... if you have google chrome, just type out your math problem in the address bar and it will automatically do the math and give you the equals... (just don't hit enter)

would that be a * between the 9 and the (?
if you don't show us your exact equation we can't tell you if you made a mistake. you clearly made a mistake in transcribing your equation here.
p.s. and are you sure you are in the sba that is named 42 (look at lower right name box) and not the one that is the 42'nd in the kind of arbitrary list in the wiki.

Raymond, I typed it into my scientific calculator exactly as she wrote it here, and it came up with 42. =\

I reckon it might be the wrong SBA.

Which... Where does the SBA count go wrong?

the wiki lists the sba's in order that they appear in the world, not necessarily the order of their 'names/numbers'. for example, hypothetically the 100'th sba to come out might be sba number 124 LOL.

in the wiki list there are bullet numbers that mean absolutely nothing, what matters is the actual name of the sba which is also right there in the same line in wiki for every sba. Only a matter of plus or minus 1 currently now and only different after the named unnumbered one in the ice mountains kaine.

All that matters is the actual name, and the name of an sba is displayed like every glove location when in a location in the lower right near your store, also upon entering the sba it displays the name.

someone once totally royally messed up the wiki page cause they didn't like what they thought of as a discrepency. But a list has to have bullet numbers cause we also need to know how many sba's there are total.

p.s. calculators kind of have an interpretation of implied multiplication in a situation like 9( which most likely in her port blackwood person says 9*( or perhaps says 9+( or maybe even 9-( or could be 9/( or I am not sure if exponents are used in any of these equations but if so perhaps 9^(
she and anyone requesting help MUST type the equation exactly as shown to them

If the item you are looking for does not begin to drop within the first 5 quick whacks, then you are not in the right place! Recheck your equation. Type it into Google exactly as it appears in the text from the quest giver NPC.

you equation really has no actual * between the 9 and the (?
if it's a + there then the answer is 27
if it's a - then the answer is 21
if it's a / then the answer is 18
are you absolutely sure that your equation is 15+9((90/5)/6)
in all the equations posted in the forum and in chat, nobody else ever had one with an implied multiply operation, they all had a * where a multiply is required

mu only other suggestion is that perhaps you are not in the sba that is in the castle courtyard, sba number 42 but instead are in the 42'nd sba listed in the wiki which is molten core and is wrong cause that's sba number 41

Sheldon, like when there are too many repeatable quests for the town crier to display fully, if you use your mouse wheel you can scroll up and down to read the whole text of that message that's normally truncated a bit
