Telescope

[twilit dirge]

Telescope, Rare
"Gains chips and mult equal to base chips and mult of final played hand. Resets when boss blind is defeated."

Final as in you have hit 0 hands, not the hand that wins the round

[fathom wraith]

it should be the hand that wins you the round as i think otherwise its a bit to weak

also lovely theming

[twilit dirge]

Im worried planet scaling would make this go too crazy

So using all hands is the penalty, you gotta wait til night

[fathom wraith]

ohhh it works with planet scaling

that makes sense actually

[round basalt]

it'd be strong

[fathom wraith]

thats how the flint words it

[warm marlin]

theres already a voucher by that name

[sand swift]

This is just ×2

(10 + 10) × (2 + 2) = 2(10 ×2)

[round basalt]

oh wait

[fathom wraith]

it gains it till the boss

[round basalt]

i mean i still feel like it'd be neat

[sand swift]

×2/round resets after each boss

[fathom wraith]

play a straight flush you get its power till the end of the boss(along with other ones)

[sand swift]

Wait per hand????

[round basalt]

it takes the final hand

[fathom wraith]

final hand

[round basalt]

also using a strush as the baseline is weird

[fathom wraith]

i am saying as a use case

[sand swift]

+2×/final hand?

Its worded kinda poorly

[round basalt]

i think it's supposed to be like

if the final hand is a lvl 2 4oak, it gains +10 mult and +100 chips until the end of the ante

[sand swift]

Ohhh okay

[round basalt]

and if it was a lvl 1 pair it'd be a +2 +10

etc

[twilit dirge]

Yes

So functionally on SB it is just X2 to the base stats of final hand

[stray dock]

i like it; only issue is that it shares a name with the voucher telescope

[heady heath]

What but isn't

(10 + 10) (2+2) = 20 * 4=80
And
2(10 * 2) = 2*20=40

[sand swift]

Bruh

Order of operations

[round basalt]

did you try to use the rule of distribution

on a calculation without variables

[sand swift]

2(10 × 2) =
20 × 4 =
80

🤦‍♀️

[round basalt]

actually

no this doesn't make sense

mfw you're worse at math than a seance user

[sand swift]

His mistake is a calculation error

2(10 × 2) ≠ (20 × 2)

[fresh canyon]

i don't know even a shred of what math yall are doing but for the first scale this is x4

x2 to both mult and chips

[sand swift]

Its added

[fresh canyon]

assuming absolutely nothing else happens that is

[sand swift]

The suggestion specifys added

[round basalt]

could you work through how you determined that it's equivalent to (10+10)x(2+2)

[round basalt]

both chips and mult are scaled

[heady heath]

Do basic math

[sand swift]

(10 + 10) × (2 + 2) =
(20) × (4) =
() before × as per order of operations

[stray dock]

(10 + 10) * (2 + 2)
= 20 * 4 = 80

alternatively

= 10 * 2 + 10 * 2 + 10 * 2 + 10 * 2 by FOIL
= 20 + 20 + 20 + 20
= 80

[fresh canyon]

finally someone qualified

Literally named mathman

[round basalt]

10x2 = 20
80≠20*2

[heady heath]

I order for you to compare two sets wouldn't you need two elements per set

Like (a+b) (c+d) = ac + ad + bc + bd

[sand swift]

Tf?? PEMDAS

This didnt do PEMDAS right

[fresh canyon]

it's wolframalpha

[stray dock]

it did

[round basalt]

yeah that does follow pemdas

[fresh canyon]

i think you are maybe just wrong

[round basalt]

you do what's inside the brackets first

[fresh canyon]

wolfram is like.The calculator

[sand swift]

Parenthases first

[heady heath]

Wolfram alpha VS dumbass 1st round

[sand swift]

This is 3rd grade

Math

[round basalt]

you're mixing it up with the distributive propriety

[sand swift]

-# says the dude who forgot pemdas

[fresh canyon]

They.didn't?????

OPk.Really simple

Withouth this joker it's 10x2 = 20

Right

With this joker

It is (10+10)x(2+2)=80

[round basalt]

solve (20+4)*(10+3)

[fresh canyon]

Therefore. x4

[sand swift]

Ohh i see

Lol

[heady heath]

24 * 13

[stray dock]

Yall are forgetting that this is a scaling joker, and you have to waste hands to reach it

You're losing money by going for this

[fresh canyon]

math aside i feel like this is a bit underpowered especially for a rare

[sand swift]

(20 + 4) × (10 + 3)
24 × 13

312

[fresh canyon]

considering Yeah you have to do final hand

[fresh canyon]

if not underpowered just a bit boring

[heady heath]

r/confidentlyincorrect

[round basalt]

basically it's a better acrobat if you're relying on planets

[sand swift]

(10 + 10) × (2 + 2) =
20 × 4 =
80

[stray dock]

don't forget that it scales though

on the boss blind it's an effective X9

[fresh canyon]

true

[sand swift]

Pixlii right about it being ×4 bc ur doubling both sides

[fresh canyon]

depending on if it scales after or before the hand scores it could be x16

Yeag

[sand swift]

But whatever tf shadow pistol on i want

[stray dock]

most scaling jokers scale before scoring

so yeah X16 actually

it's high cost but high reward

[fresh canyon]

Ok i take back the statement about underpowered

[fresh canyon]

although this is still assuming a lot of stuff just Doesn't Happen

[round basalt]

(the only real cost is telescope which is covered by blue seals)

[stray dock]

Well yeah you'd have to play toward this joker

But you could

[fresh canyon]

yeah

[heady heath]

Says the dude who got 2*20 wrong

[sand swift]

LMAO

Balatro players cant read

[round basalt]

knowing the two of you this will go forever

[heady heath]

No shit

[stray dock]

@ mods

[heady heath]

Bro 2(10*2) is 40 and you know that.... Hopefully

[sand swift]

2(10 × 2)
(20 × 4)

But okay

[heady heath]

You know that 2 = 2 * 1

[round basalt]

seriously though why are both numbers being multiplied

[sand swift]

Bc balatro score is chips × mult

[heady heath]

We're only talking mult here

[round basalt]

that's not how the notation you're using works though

[heady heath]

Right

[sand swift]

Numbers outside of parentheses apply to all terms inside

X(y × z) =
Xy × xz

[round basalt]

you're mixing it up with the distributive propriety

[fresh canyon]

this is for addition/subtraction

[heady heath]

What is 10 * 2

[fresh canyon]

Probably like 12 idk

[stray dock]

This can't be true, because that would violate the associative property

[heady heath]

And then multiple by 2

Boom! Now start 1st grade

[sand swift]

Brother

Okay

[heady heath]

Mathman I love math but not men so, I half love you

Hold up

Let him cook

[round basalt]

balatro players trying to flirt

[heady heath]

Nah I'm 14

Well in a month

"She said she was 12"

[fast latch]

Kinda seems underpowered for a rare

[stray dock]

assume x * (y * z) = (x * y) * (x * z)
by the associative property we also have x * (y * z) = (x * y) * z
by the transitive property we get (x * y) * (x * z) = (x * y) * z
which, if we assume x, y, and z are all nonzero, forces x to equal 1
since we assumed this statement was true for all nonzero real x/y/z, all nonzero reals are equal to 1 🎉

[heady heath]

@sand swift Are you dead

[stray dock]

If you play toward it it can be an effective X16

[fast latch]

How though

[heady heath]

Stop he's already dead

[fast latch]

It only at most is a x3

[stray dock]

If it scales 3 times, then the Chips and Mult will each get X3'd

X3 and X3 makes X9

[sand swift]

OHH

Okay my bad

[fast latch]

Oh yeah

[stray dock]

wait

no

[fast latch]

Still only at most x9

[round basalt]

jackie is a girl (i probably should have mentioned ages ago

[stray dock]

if it scales 3 times it's X4

making X4 and X4 for X16

since you start at X1

[sand swift]

I was doing girl math

[stray dock]

and have 3 blinds to scale it each ante

[round basalt]

"it only quintuples your income"

[heady heath]

@stray dock bro just use wolfram alpha

[sand swift]

Wouldnt it be nontuble

Bc non = 9

[heady heath]

A girl could do better math

[fast latch]

Its x9 if you don't have any card effects

Or +mult jokers

Or +chips jokers

[heady heath]

A fish could do better math

[sand swift]

-# its a joke im tryna laugh at myself

[round basalt]

it was an analogy

[sand swift]

Im a history buff not a math buff

[heady heath]

@sand swift You're a low quality human. A 144p person. A micromortal

Okay I'll stop

[sand swift]

That was uneeded

[heady heath]

So are you

Unless it's July then you are needed

[grave phoenix]

I have no idea who’s correct anymore so

[heady heath]

That's right

He said that 2(10*2) = 80

We all know that (10+10)(2+2) = 80

[grave phoenix]

I think they’re getting mixed up with the distributive property

[heady heath]

Doesn't the second one only work if they both have the same amount of elements

[grave phoenix]

I have no idea, my brain is too fried from this conversation

[heady heath]

Also it's only used for stuff not related to this chat

[sand swift]

We already figured out i was big dummy

[heady heath]

And now everyone proves they're smarter than you

[grave phoenix]

I read through 80% of the conversation, I didn’t see that part

[heady heath]

Nice chalk math

Peak math

[heady heath]

You mean 2(10*2)% of the conversation

Sorry

I had to

[grave phoenix]

well said, goodbye.

[fast latch]

Distributive property is for addition which is why 2nd one is wrong

[heady heath]

Yeah like a(b*c) = ab + ac instead of ab * ac

Thanks

[fast latch]

No

a(b+c) =ab + ac

a(b*c)= abc

[heady heath]

That's what I said

[fast latch]

... No

[heady heath]

I meant a(b+c) sorry

It's 1:50 and I slept like 6 hours. I'm also burnt out fron that dumbass. So I'm stupid
