Hey, that walrus operator line is pretty neat.

Agreed on the rounding constraint. The partial persons in the intermediate results are essentially just modeling variance in the year-to-year growth rate. (E.g., 1/3 of a person per year just means every third year you get an extra person.) If they're gonna make us round, it should be at the end, not in every step.

It isn't rounding, casting to int chops the decimal bit off.
