This type of equation in principle has an infinite number of solutions (or none at all).
One can eliminate the cases where any of the results is a negative number, and under that condition the possible number of solutions is most probably finite. The cases of Farmerjohn are both also correct, but not very realistic.
To Anton: I already indicated that this is speculation, and so is your response.
Most importantly, however, is that this bit (the amount paid) is probably the least reliable part of the Marci letter.
It is worth looking at cases where a similar amount was paid, but if in the end the acquisition is identified, and the amount turns out to be different, then this should not be considered a big issues.
