As you can see, there are 46,656 possible applications. I don't want to go through all of them. I have written a small bash script which deals with 1296 at a time and pops out the ones which mentions the bonus details. I wanted to ask for 35 volunteers to go through the results along with me. PM me for the script.

Mods, feel free to move this elsewhere if milesbuzz isn't the right place for this post.
Any pattern to the way the bonus is formatted in the response? Any way to do a regex so that you can save each response, parse it for bonus, and pop that in to a spreadsheet for easy post-processing? Happy to help out with automated parsing but I don't sign up for manual work. My per-hour value to myself is too high for manual work, I always automate
