I don't know if this has been said because I didn't read every post due to the all the whining. But I wonder if the OP considered the reward for completing tasks. There are roughly 20 tasks and if each task produces 250 eggs, that's 5000 eggs. Also, there are eggs to be earned doing tasks with Homer, Ralph, etc.. I wonder how many boxes that is when you figure all that into the original math?
Believe me, it's all in there.
BLUE/PINK EGGS (across whole event)
*Characters (Homer, Ned, Ralph, Nelson, Moe, Crazy Cat Lady) = 6,245 eggs
*Tasks = 4,500 eggs
*Friend Visits = 16,200 eggs
*Egg Generator Gift = 3,150 eggs
*Carrots = 1,260 eggs
*Rabbits around Town = 7,776 eggs (at max)
TOTAL = 36,701 eggs
GOLD EGGS
Add 6,500 gold eggs from B/P boxes (36,500 /500 x45% x(100+300)/2)
GRAND TOTAL = 43k eggs. Give or take with the baskets, etc.
While the math seems solid enough, I think what everyone misses is the when the common prizes are exhausted. This is when you cash in 100 common for 50 uncommon. Throwing 500 away at a box after all the (rare) prizes are acquired for a mere 100 gold eggs or decor is worthless. This then helps clear the uncommon prizes - while greatly assisting gold egg prizes. If you are trying to clear the gold first - that is where you will miss out since you will be throwing 500 common away instead of getting 250 uncommon back. I think that is why there is the switch of the common color - so you find neighbors of the opposite common color - so you fill each other's baskets (of your common color).
