Easter event or donuts?
Which is the best thing to do? - save up my donuts incase there is an easter event, or use them to build up my % bonus? Mmmmm :/

@wadebear - It's not necessarily cheaper to retry, and usually a lot slower, but because KEMs take time before you can collect it usually makes sense to get the maximum return if you can afford it - at least to me.
I did the maths a while back and since forgot, but there comes a point, particularly with trucks, where the cost of placing more is less than the cost of retries based on average luck. Somewhere I've got the bonus needed where the costs equal out and it makes no difference in IGC, just time taken.
If you put down enough for 30 rounds in theory you get 10 of each 1, 2 and 3 sprinkle boxes first time, 60 Ds averaging out to 2 sprinkles a round. In theory with retries it's the same - 10 each of 1, 2 or 3 taps for the 3 Ds making an average of 2 taps a go. That means you would have spent $1.5 mil on retries for an extra 30 Ds - so if the 60 Ds cost less than $3 mil just buy more trucks.
( My luck isn't quite that good, I typically get 54 Ds from 30 tries - oh well !! )
I also play it different between collecting and farming, and between my A and B towns. My A town is huge, max cash and a ridiculous number of sprinkles so when I collect it's always go for 3 but if I farm it's whatever I find first box and save time. In my B town it depends on mood, but collecting and KEMs are always hunt the 3 because I'm working towards items or targets, at least for now, and for trucks it's can I be bothered now my bonus is coming on nicely.
Last B town truck blast was 30 trucks giving 300 Ds in a little over ten minutes rather than probably 20 minutes for closer to 480 Ds and likely taking the cost from just over $3 mil to over $10 mil when I'm a week or so away from reaching the first $1 billion IGC.
Then again it's always a personal choice, there is no right or wrong way to tap. Play the game in a way that suits you and makes you happy is the best answer.
