P=I**R
(power equals current squared times resistance)
The issue for this problem is that we know neither the current nor the
"resistance" of the load, nor the voltage drop over the 100 ohm part of
the circuit.

Ok, doing software apparently has erased some important stuff from my

I**2 * R? Wouldn't Vr = I * R?

As you can see, I actually arrived at the solution early on, but
then stumbled around searching for the linear solution which does
not exist.
