Onerous Operations
Joe is playing an interesting game with his friend Kara. Joe picks a random number and Kara picks a random series of operations to perform on it. Joe only wins if Kara gets 0 at the end of all her operations. If Kara has chosen to square the number and multiply that by 15 and then add 11 times the number to that and finally add 2 to the entire sum, what is the PRODUCT of the values Joe can pick at the beginning of the game to win?
