Oh, Fuck Me

I asked ChatGPT how I can finally trip my Wordle winning percentage over from 96 to 97% and now I'm just totally fucking depressed:
Starting from game 1,080, your record is:
• 1,079 games played
• 96% win rate, so:
1,036 wins
43 losses

Let’s say you play x more games starting now, and win all of them. You want your total win percentage to hit 97%, so:

\frac{1036 + x}{1079 + x} = 0.97

Same equation, just with your current stats:

1036 + x = 0.97(1079 + x) \\

1036 + x = 1046.63 + 0.97x \\

x - 0.97x = 1046.63 - 1036 \\

0.03x = 10.63 \\

x = \frac{10.63}{0.03} \approx 354.33

Answer: You need 355 straight wins starting from game 1,080 to reach a 97% win rate.
