About one hundred agents and minions are camped out in the forest. You can see lots of hiking gear and dozens of empty cages waiting for captured slow lorises. They must be planning to spread out in all directions to search for slow lorises that they will then capture. They must be stopped!
There are too many of them for you and your crew of five to stop, but you can make them so miserable that they won't want to hunt for slow lorises. Your plan is to unleash thousands of Tomcat Beetles on the camp and induce a plague of boils similar to one of the biblical Plagues of Egypt. The beetles are attracted to the light and are active at dusk. Your plan is to surround the camp and unleash the beetles at the arrows marked below right at sunset so the beetles move toward the villains as they turn on their lanterns. You want to release enough beetles to cover one square meter with at least 10 beetles, but no more than that because you don't want them to spread to the nearby town. It is 60 m from the release point to the center of camp. How many beetles, rounded to the nearest thousand, should you and your agents each release?
