Only two of the runners did not have any special text, and one fit and
the other did not. If you took fame out of the equation then they
switch, so that now the one that fit does not. I will have to find
more time to fiddle with the equation, but I will say that if there is
a formula to the runners costs I really doubt that it will be all that
difficult. If anyone is going to continue working on a formula I
suggest using nothing more than +,-,*, and /. Maybe the race has
something to with it also.
