99.9999% Cheaper Managers

[tEcALLAI -Mari ❤]

Do they actually work? I just bought one for the first time, an dont see any difference in the pricing :/

[elsoqo]

Yes. It's just hard to tell since we're used to dealing with smaller numbers. I.E. 99% of 1 Quadrillion is 1 Trillion, unless I suck at math.

Edit- Actually I think it's 10 Trillion.

[Ertai]

yes it wworks. You by about 100 of item as a max instead od few after you buy it.

[Terry]

good

The numbers are just irritating. 99,9999% can be seen like *0,00001 which are just five 0's. This isn't much if you are already at a few dozen 0's.

[CmdrQuartz]

yeah, 99% of a ridiculously huge number, is still a ridiculously huge number.As ertai mentioned it usually means you get 100-200 more before it's right back up there in cost.

Think of it like this:

99% of 100 (1e2) = 1 (1e0)
99.9% of 100 (1e2) = 0.1 (1e-1)
99.99% of 100 (1e2) = 0.01 (1e-2)
Thus every '9' reduces the difference in powers by 1.
etc.

So 99.99999999999% has 13 nines, so for something to cost 1 (1e0), the base price would be 1e13.
99.99999999999% of 1e40 = 1e27, etc.

So in this game, 99.9999% is relative to a price reduction of 1e6 (or 1,000,000). If the base price is 1e9 (1 billion, 1,000,000,000), then you would pay 1e3 (1 thousand, 1,000).

errrr....obviously, 99% of 1 quadrillion is .99 quadrillion.

everyone here either never heard of math, or is far too deep into it. i'm certain you all ate your math books, though.

it says "99.999% cheaper". that means they've become a hundred thousand times cheaper, as the cost should be reduced by 99.999%, leaving only .001%

...elementary math is tricky, eh?
