Actually, we know that the number of circle to stop the program is obtained by divide the number of points by the number of players. We also know that the incrementation is the square of 23. Each 23 circle every players can earn points.

Now, we need to understand :

   - Which player which will win ?
   - How many points will he have at the first earn ?

With those two parameters, we can calculate the number of points easely.

The formula will almost be :

highest_point = (23*number_players) * (numbers_points_reach/number_players) + first_points_of_the_player_which_win
