Omega Canisters and Double Trouble

Your Omega Update has bad math for the Canisters. (Actually it has bad math all through it and seems to have been designed by someone who hasn't actually played the game)

I have rounded off the hours as they do vary. However, they come close to the times below for me. I am also just using one Lab and one Research Center for the example.

The bottom line is that the Double and Triple Canisters are BAD. They use more time and give you fewer items than if you just got single canisters and kept plugging along. 

Single Canister =   1 Neo Items and 2 Regular Items (3 Total)
Double Canister = 2 Neo Items and 4 Regular Items (6 Total)
Triple Canister =    3 Neo Items and 6 Regular Items (9 Total)

Single Canister = 2 Hours to Process 3 Items
 Processing in Lab 1 Hour + Research Center 1 Hour (Rounded Hours; could be a bit more or less)

Double Canister = 8 Hours to Process 6 Items
 Processing in Lab 5 Hours + Research Center 3 Hours

Triple Canister = 10 Hours to Process 9 Items
 Processing in Lab 7 Hours + Research Center 3 Hours

Canisters can produce the following:

Single Canister               Double Canister             Triple Canister
02 Hours = 3 Items         Nothing                             Nothing
04 Hours = 6 Items         Nothing                             Nothing
06 Hours = 9 Items         Nothing                             Nothing
08 Hours = 12 Items      08 Hours = 06 Items        Nothing
10 Hours = 15 Items     10 Hours = 06 Items        10 Hours = 9 Items

    yep, it can be a pain when doing the CoM if get them on every other task. I always plan before the contest making all small, however, when do it in every other task might end up with large ones it becomes more time consuming and so not run out of time in the higher leagues have to spend simcash to speed them up. So far I have been pretty lucky on these, as I hardly spent simcash only at one time on the last day I had to as ended up with all large ones after calculating how long they be I knew if I don't spend simcash  on some I not complete the task on time. However, i had time then to use tickets but just made it to 4th place but in the last few minute of the contest, i use a tick in hope staying in forth however when it did end I was scooped down to 7th place, so I wished I did not waste them that week.
