Wjames had some good math there, but he explained with many words and a funny process. Take his starting number (9052) and subtract 2*number_of_days_passed (- 2x) and then add 1 poem_per_day (+1x).
9052 - 2x + x = 9052 - x.
Set to zero.
9052-x = 0
Therefore x= 9052 days.
Yay basic algebra. And good work Wjames, no mistake there.
At 2 poems per day and 1 more poem each day, it's the number of poems when you started. But I think we add more than poem per day here.
9052 - 2x + x = 9052 - x.
Set to zero.
9052-x = 0
Therefore x= 9052 days.

If you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room.
