Hello, I'm looking at the infinite score video of balatro university and I have an issue calculating the added value of a steel king, red seal, 4 baron and 3 mimes.
#Score calculation issues

Here is the hand I'm trying to calculate, in the video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nltHmlXRBQU), he palyed the same hand twice so the hand score should be 3.557e56
The chips are 965+210+350 for the red seal king and the 3 foil jokers so 1135
The base mult is 97, and we have a poly joker so a trailing x1.5
the bulk of the score is made of steel and baron procs, which are all x1.5. In my calculation, with 3 Mimes and 4 barons, each card trigger 5 times and each trigger is multiplying by 1.5 5 times.
So each additionnal king should be multiplying the mult by (1.5^5)5 = 1.5^(55) = 1.5^25
With 6 joker, we have an additional power 6, wich result in 1.5^150 (2.5e26)
The final hand should therefore be 1135971.5^150*1.5 = 4.2e31
Which is far frow the 3.55e56 in the actual hand
Where is my calculation wrong and why ?
NB : If I multiply my result by 1.5^150 again, I have 1e58, which is "close" to the result, but I don't know what would be the reason of this additionnal ^2
"close" being "maybe close enough for compounding errors of 150+ multiplication to explain the difference"
Here is the detail of my calculation :

My bad, I forgot that he was playing the plasma deck unlike in the three previous videos and this is where the ^2 is coming from. ((X/2)^2 on the mult in fact)
