where the error message is: "No solution was found".
On the other hand:
That's pretty close to 0... I guess the real answer is only found from the other side:
The problem is similar to:
I must admit that the numeric processor does slightly better:
But it fails to recognise an answer that's close to the limit:

Primes legacy symbolic sometimes (quite often) outrules the new one
but not always:
but OK, 204.50 at least is closer to infinite that 33.58 🙂
