User blog:SolarMist/Hazy Moon Delight: Daily Floor Progress

It looks like people didn't understand my edits to the daily floor progress chart.

that's all right ^^; Just wanted to see if anyone else saw what I was seeing, but apparently no one did. Either my logic is crazy or it's just not comprehensible xD

I apologize for the confusion I caused. If you want to try to see my logic, look below the line. Otherwise, ignore it.

You need to spend 1253-1254 HP every day (except for the last one since that's a partial day). I'm just going to assume that people know how I got that. (16,770 HP total for 200 floors in 13 days and 9 hours [aka 13.375 days] according to this spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AnWGYg8WMqf0dDU3RFhTS0RORjQ3aHBBWEwzcTh4LWc#gid=0 )

the exact number is 1253.8317757blahblahblah. I'm going to be using that exact number in my calculations (16,770 / 13.375) rather than the rounded "1253-1254" thing. However, when I say the results of those calculations, they're going to be the rounded thing.

Okay, so here's a breakdown:

Day 1, you're spending 1253-1254 HP. According to the pink column (total HP needed to reach and finish the floor) in the spreadsheet, this means that you should be in the middle of floor 55. (Finishing floor 54 requires 1246 HP, and that isn't enough to meet the daily requirement.) Therefore, if you round up, you should finish floor 55 to meet the requiement.

Day 2, you should have spent 2507-2508 HP total in the tower so far (1253.83blah * 2). This brings you to the middle of floor 76. Finishing floor 75 requires 2470 HP, which--again--isn't enough. So finishing floor 76 will let you meet the requirement.

Day 3, you should have spent 3761-3762 HP total in the tower so far (1253.83blah * 3). This brings you to the middle of floor 95. Finishing floor 94 requires 3724 HP, which isn't enough, so finishing floor 95 will let you meet the daily HP requirement.

And so on and so forth.

Now, for the explanation of why the later floors (151f-195f) fluctuated in the "floors covered in the day" aspect!

So you're using 1253-1254 HP every day, right?

It's not divisible by 144 HP. Not 1253, not 1254, not the exact 1253.83blahblah.

No? You're not having a moment of realization yet? TT~TT -brick'd-

Since it's not divisible by 144 HP, you're going to end up in a different "% floor completion" each time. (You know how when you're investigating the floor progress goes up from, say, 20% to 40% to 60% to 80% to 100% in the earliest floors? Yeah, I'm talking about that bar.)

For example:

If you are at a 50% floor completion for 158f and you use 144 HP, you're going to end up at 50% floor completion for 159f, right? And for each 144 HP you use, you're going to end up at the 50% floor completion mark for the following floors after that, right?

But what if you're at a 50% floor completion for 158f and you only use 136 HP? You're going to be at 44% floor completion for 159f.

And what if you're at a 50% floor completion for 158f and you use 152 HP? You're going to be at 56% floor completion for 159f.

This difference in the exact 1-floor HP amount becomes noticeable in situations like this:

If you're at 6% floor completion for 158f and you use 80 HP, you're going to end up at 61% floor completion and still be on 158f.

If you're at 94% floor completion for 158f and you use 80 HP, you're going to end up on the next floor obviously.

Aaaaaaaaand if you're at 6% floor completion for 158f and you use 168 HP, you're going to get to 159f, but not very far. But you'll be past 6% floor completion!

Yet if you're at 94% floor completion for 158f and you use 168 HP from there, you're going to get to 160f! Not very far in 160f, but it still seems like you just advanced 2 floors instead of 1, doesn't it? But you used the same amount of HP!

So because the 1253-1254 HP per day isn't perfectly divisible by 144 HP, you're going to have cases where the "floors covered in one day" fluctuates.

Computer internet is shutting off soon, sorry
