LOL, I had a very similar experince!When good ol' Gil arrived arround Xmas I decided to help him in his business with a Boatload purchase. With beeing rich donut-wise, I had a weak moment and went for some Buddhas... Some benches and fences here and there... I knew it was a bad deal... So I llimited myself to a total of 10 Homer Buddhas to purchase.And guess what: with my 9th or 10th purchase I aquired Frink's Lab as well! 8) Since Frink is worth 150 Donuts (and I would have purchased him later anyways) I went out of this 'experiment' cost neutral PLUS the stuff I got from the other Buddhas... :-) I certainly cannot complain. BUT: I DO know that I went VERY lucky on this! So, it's nothing I would suggest to other tappers. btw: here you can see what I got in total from the 10 Buddhas:http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/5655/1pxv.jpg :thumbup:

That is killer! I could never bring myself to gamble on a Homer Buddha.

I bought a couple buddas when I started. Got a bench, and a mystery box with a tree.

I guess I was just a little bit excited of my new "richness" and just wanted to try it. A little bit like with a one-armed bandit or so... No real reason for it, just for fun...HOWEVER: I made some calculation, based on the %-numbers presented on several sites and found out that the Homer Buddhas are not as bad as they appear - at least if you look at them on a purely donut-exchange perspective.Do you know the term "expected value"? It basically expresses, what kind of value you can expect if you do a certain action like in an 'unlimited' amount.Here it comes: the expected value for a Homer Buddha ist 16,17!That means, you will get 16,17 donuts out of a Buddha (in terms of items) while just paying 15 donuts for it. So, in the long run, you get more donuts (mostly bond into items) out of it than you invest. My calculation is shown here:https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/903x360q90/199/jb7u.JPGI hope you understand what I did there. I made a seperate calculation for the Mystery box, since you get a Mystery box out of a Buddha in 9,983% as well. So by the sheer numbers, the Homer Buddha is actually not THAT bad.There is just one BIG downside to it!You don't get the donuts, but mostly returning items instead (except for multiple premium buildings or characters. Then you'll get the donut cost worth of it. Same for the straight donus, of course. Otherwise you just get benches, trees, fence and such). You certainly don't need 10k fences or 2k benches and so on. So that is why you don't want to waste too much donuts into that. Plus: some items are not worth the donuts in your personal opinion and you wouldn't buy it straight. But, as I said, from the sheer value of donuts, the Buddha is kind of a good deal.

The buddha is great if you ever plan on getting multiple premium items like apple trees, dumpsters, etc to boost your bonus. You end up getting a pretty good return on the donut/item ratio and have decent chances of hitting 30/60 donuts or Frink/150 donuts.

Best I've gotten is 190 donuts in place of Duff Brewery since I already had it.
