Default Deadfish Riddle

Keith was taking a break from conquering the world on a luxury cruise and went to the dining hall,
only to find the cooks had a huge number of fish. After asking how many fish there were,
the chef replied 'iiisdddsddddddddddddddddsdddd'. How many fish are there?

Hint: It's all a bunch of deadfish.



I'm stumped :c


(red means incorrect | green means correct)
Mourningfall - 1174
TheRapingDragon - 30
KrazyKitzune - 396 *I OWE YOU 10k CREDITS*



All the other problems are in the thread. Currently #3 and #4 are live.
The rules are simple, if you're the first one to solve the problem, you get 10k. I might be paying for an entire ==Planet Karma== so solve those problems!!

Credit Standings:
KrazyKitsune - 10,000
llyair - 20,000

1174

Probably not the correct answer but it's the most logical

Funfact:
throughout a good period of the Renaissance (what good periods amirite?) S was a presumed abbreviation of septem, Latin for 7.
And it's common knowledge D=50 and I=1. I treated it as basic addition.

23=D's
3=S's
3=I's

(23x50)+(3x7)+(3x1)

order would have to matter, so I don't think that answer sounds correct, Mourningfall

Well, after thinking a bit, the letters given in the string are "i", "s", and "d", all letters contained in the word "deadfish". Perhaps if we gave a number to i, s, and d according to position in the word, we might have an answer. The only problem with this is that deadfish has two d's.

Was the question native english? Have you reworded anything? There could be some emphasis on the words themselves. More specifically the hint. This mindblocked me worse than the first 50 notes of Stinger. So my answer is too many fish, not enough cooks.

Interesting that s's are left alone.

The question was originally made in English. I have copied it word for word along with the hint.

Simple. The cook is a necrofishiac who has given names to all of his deceased fishy lovers: Ian / Igor / Ignacio / Solomon / David / Dylan / Derrick / Sandy / Dom / Donny / Dan / Daniel / Dirk / Dolph / Douglas / Devon / Drake / Duke / Dudley / Dwight / Dwayne / Drew / Douglas / Dominic / Simon / Daisy / Destiny / Dolly / Drusilla

So the answer is 30. You would think it was 29, but he was currently choking on number 30, a fine specimen of cod he had named Phillip, hence the mess of a reply when asked about the fish total.

oooh this was fun!!! dunno if krazykitsune wants to explain how...?

here's one possible version though, feel free to add!

deadfish is a programming language: https://esolangs.org/wiki/Deadfish
i = increment
s = square
d = decrement
(((((3^2)-3)^2)-16)^2)-4 = 396

Code:
accumulator = 0
command = 'iiisdddsddddddddddddddddsdddd'

for char in command:
    if char == 'i':    # Increment
        accumulator += 1
    elif char == 'd':    # Decrement
        accumulator -= 1
    elif char == 's':    # Square
        accumulator *= accumulator

print accumulator
(Python)

The chef did a poor job regarding the code documentation.

Alright chickadees, if you're feeling that smart I have a part two and perhaps some more fun challenges for maybe some fun tokens. Part two will be posted when I get home.
