The 86 and 97 are not obvious. I don't think there's any easy way to see why these particular numbers show up other than to work through the math. But one thing I can say is that the penultimate step in the calculation is:

2 × (36f – 25e) ≤ 36e – 25f

It's not so surprising to see 25 and 36 show up since the probability of dancing is 25/36.
