@Lady what is a kings cake
re: potential solution
@clarfonthey shit i did do that, my bad
@coriander heh
@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)
@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
@coriander i was the BIGGEST physics wonk of all time
@aescling that's a good phrase right there i like it
@Satsuma if you try the may 3rd 2024 nyt mini you will understand
i truly cannot decide between the two. it is up to you, glitchcatters, to decide for me and break the tie
