As for the bonus answer, it's not so much the multiplying by 24 part, but the way the calculation was performed. I'll post the answer on Friday (got a post lined up for tomorrow already). Hint: it's something in the area of game programming and a bit of its history. Mark, that’s correct.

It multiplies the input by 24.

e.g.

foo(1) = 24
foo(2) = 48
foo(3) = 72

No idea why it’s written that way?
