conversations.value: A TV show costs $100,000 per episode for the first season and twice that much for every other season.  The first season had 12 episodes, and every season after that had 50% more episodes except the last season, which had 24 episodes.  The show had 5 seasons.  How much did it cost to produce all the episodes?
  What is the solution?
conversations.from: assistant
conversations.value: The first season cost 12*100,000=$1,200,000
  Season 2-4 had 12*.5=6 more episodes per season than the first
  So they each had 12+6=18 episodes
  That means there were 18*3+24=78 episodes in the last 4 seasons
  So those episodes cost 2*100,000=$200,000
  For a total cost of 200,000*78=$15,600,000
  So the total cost was 15,600,000+1,200,000=$16,800,000
