This one took me way longer than it should have. I kept trying to set Aris's pay equal to some variable and then got lost in the "40% less than each other member" wording. For anyone stuck: the key is realizing every OTHER member got the same amount. Once I saw that, the rest fell into place. Tough but fair for 705+.
