1989 AIME Problem 11

A sample of 121 integers is given, each between 1 and 1000 inclusive, with repetitions allowed. The sample has a unique mode (most frequent value). Let D^{}_{} be the difference between the mode and the arithmetic mean of the sample. What is the largest possible value of \lfloor D^{}_{}\rfloor? (For real x^{}_{}, \lfloor x^{}_{}\rfloor is the greatest integer less than or equal to x^{}_{}.)

Leading zeroes must be inputted, so if your answer is 34, then input 034
