Here's a good question about math and TSTO

OK. So. I have thought about this and decided to post it. Premium characters (or ones you buy this donuts) earn 50% more money and XP through jobs/tasks they do. If all the normal characters earn $600 through 24 hr jobs/tasks how come the premium ones only make $1000? I thought 50% more of $600 would be $1200. I could be wrong. I could be living in some universe where 50% more of $600 is $1000. If so then get more out of this universe. I hope and admin sees this and tells me why 50% more of $600 is $1000. I have both the Squeaky Voiced Teen and the Mole Man. It even says that they make 50% more money and XP on jobs/tasks. :?:

Isn't 50% more $900.

$600 + $300= $900.

    50% of $600 is $300, if they earn $1000 then then earn 66.67% more

    they are correct.

    50% of 600 is 300

    300+600=900

    50% of 100 is 50 there are 6 100s in 600 so 50 times 6 is 300 so 50% of 600 is 300 making it that they should get 900 from that task so ea if you're reading this you are being to generous please take away our extra $100 so we truly only get 50% more

    the extra $100 he is getting is probably due to his bonus multiplier

    maxx it may be true that's it a multiplier but I think it may be more likely that it's a marketing statement. As long as it is 50% or more no one will complain. I doubt that there is an exact 50% ratio between every task but I bet none will be below 50%

    I don't think it's got anything to do with the multiplier, I think it's more to make it not as much of a rip off to do the 24 hour task. It's to balance it a little more. Even though $900 is 50% more, they added in $100 to make it more reasonable to select this task, over say 2 12 hour tasks, which are 600 I think (not sure) for premium characters.

    I had no figures available at the time but I was wrong they can dip beLow 50%

    Lou 4 hour task in 175 time 1.5 =262.5 hans moleman is 260 for a 4 hour task

    Homer 4 hour task in KL is 52 tickets times 1.5 is 78 SVT get 78 tickets


    So you may be better off in Krustland for Premium characters

    For KL, at least... win some, lose some
    time     reg   +50%      prem (actual)
    30 min    12    18    =   18
    1 hour    21    31.5  >   31
    4 hour    52    78    =   78
    8 hour    82    123   <  126
    12 hour  126    189   >  180
    24 hour  180    270   <  300
    
    * bonus multipliers not included
