Dec 12, 2018 at 14:13 comment added CCB60 @lirtosiast Agree to both points. Interestingly, a least squares fit (L2 norm) is pretty good under this scoring algorithm too. It has only about 5% worse penalty than the best equation I found. On storing the names : I could not figure out a more compact way to generate an ascending sequence of numbers from text input. The modulo arithmetic approaches taken in other answers randomize the order.
Dec 12, 2018 at 6:15 comment added lirtosiast The scoring algorithm really seems to hurt this method-- I'd guess that it would do better under L2 or L1 norm of error. Though you're wasting bytes storing the names anyway.
