A contractor estimated that one of his two bricklayers would take $9$ hours to build a certain wall and the other $10$ hours. However, he knew from experience that when they worked together, their combined output fell by $10$ bricks per hour. Being in a hurry, he put both men on the job and found that it took exactly 5 hours to build the wall. The number of bricks in the wall was $\textbf{(A) }500\qquad\textbf{(B) }550\qquad\textbf{(C) }900\qquad\textbf{(D) }950\qquad \textbf{(E) }960$

Submit an integer between $1$ and $50$, inclusive. You will receive a score as follows: If some number is submitted exactly once: If $E$ is your number, $A$ is the closest number to $E$ which received exactly one submission, and $M$ is the largest unique submission, you will receive $\frac{25}{M} (A - |E - A|)$ points, rounded to the nearest integer. If no number was submitted exactly once: If $E$ is your number, $K$ is the number of people who submitted $E$, and $M$ is the number of people who submitted the most commonly submitted number, then you will receive $\frac{25(M-K)}{M}$ points, rounded to the nearest integer.

Let $\lfloor x \rfloor$ denote the largest integer less than or equal to $x$, and let $\{x\}$ denote the fractional part of $x$. For example, $\lfloor \pi \rfloor=3$, and $\{\pi\}=0.14159\dots$, while $\lfloor 100 \rfloor=100$ and $\{100\}=0$. If $n$ is the largest solution to the equation $\frac{\lfloor n \rfloor}{n}=\frac{2015}{2016}$, compute $\{n\}$.
