Just wanted to say I *did* understand the concept behind it (I was the one who said I was dumbfounded, sorry 'bout that, that was probably the wrong word to use)

Well, what I meant was that VanBeeks chart does not work like that in practice.

In truth, I do not spend 1255hP because it's a mathematically allocated number of event minutes per day. I think in hours, not minutes, mostly because these are smaller numbers and are easier to process without resorting to calculator (and easier to set alarms to). So my planned amount would always be based on at least 1260.

And if I had a small part of the floor unfinished in a day, I would try to put some more HP there. So the number of finished floors is the parameter that was perhaps more psychologically important to me than the exact HP value.

Well, actually, my goal is to spend the entire 1440HP I have in a day and get done with tower. For me, this goal is unachievable - life, work, oversleeping alarms, sudden loss of internet connection take away variable chunks of missed HP every day. So I personally used VanBeeks chart as a really, really broad approximation that had a steadily decreasing amount of traversed floors in someone else's flexible schedule (flexible in a HP per day sense).

Still, that was an impressive calculation, nd an even more impressive explanation. Thanks for taking the effort, it was a good read.
