        As spawning season approaches, the fish acquire a humpback and protuberant jaw. After spawning, they die and their carcasses provide a feast for gatherings of mink, bears, and Bald eagles.

The chart you're looking at is rounded to 3 places, but the challenge is expecting the answers to have full precision.

If you calculate it yourself you should get the correct value of 3.3125 for 53/16.
