@alyssa @aescling i thought that instance policy was that clodsire is a whale

@coriander without context i find this extremely charming, hence you are wrong, sorry.

here's a fun maths problem for you:

in Balatro, each hand gains a positive number of Chips and Mult, which are then multiplied together to get your final score. but on the Plasma Deck, the rules are altered such that Chips and Mult are "balanced", averaging the two before scoring.

does this "balancing" step always give you a better score than you would have gotten without the Plasma Deck? how would you prove this?

(I'll share my answer in a day or so)

#Balatro #Mathstodon #Maths #Math

@clarfonthey i thought about this
before

let x be the chips and y the mult

xy would be the score normally while ((x+y)/2)2 is the plasma deck score

xy - ((x+y)/2)2 is equal to ((x-y)/2)2, a positive number or zero (if x and y are real).

hence the plasma deck scores lower unless the chips and mult are the exact same number, in which deck scores the exact same as normal.

@aescling @coriander i memorized page numbers for equations in our textbooks it was bad

the nyt mini crossword has also revealed my disturbing lack of knowledge about greek mythology

thanks to the nyt mini crossword i have learned about the word "wonk" and it is a very nice word

@Satsuma if you try the may 3rd 2024 nyt mini you will understand

whoever wrote the may 3rd 2024 NYT mini i hope your pillow is warm and has a weird smell every night

i truly cannot decide between the two. it is up to you, glitchcatters, to decide for me and break the tie

@monorail if I had gotten lucky and got the voucher that makes you get celestial cards for your most played hand I could have made a five of a kind build because I played a lot of those in the first four antes

@monorail I once had a game where, very early, I got both the joker that gives an insane multiplier for a four of a kind, and the spectral card that makes every card the same rank, and I was able to win by playing four of a kinds
