I like my syntax of the first better, if only because it's trying to be explicit about what I'm trying to do.  Though if I want that I could do

((Maximum Entropy) / (# of players)) * (1/2)

and

((Maximum Entropy) / (# of players)) * (3/4)

Not the simplest form, but I'm more interested in expression of intent than arithmetic simplicity.
