Damage is different in each box. What is it supposed to be? 90 or 100?

  • It could be that it damages more when on the wall than when on the ground. NeonJ (talk) 12:15, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

I've reverted the edits and put a notice on the admin noticeboard. Do note that you are able to do this yourself; you don't need to ask to undo vandalism. -Xolroc (talk) 04:00, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

The calculation of the black recluse attack reset chance is wrong. The Benoulli Formula can not be used here. The chance of reset when k = 0 (tick count = 181) should be equal to the chance that the randomly picked number (which is picked between 180 and 899, if you forgot) is smaller than the tick count. This means that it has to be exactly 180, which makes the chance 1/720. For k >= 1, the case is a bit more complicated, but the chance can be calculated with P(k) = 719*718*717*...*(720-k)*(k+1)/720^(k+1). A few examples: P(1) = 0.0028; P(2) = 0.0041; p(3) = 0.0055; P(20) = 0.0217; P(30) = 0.0224. 2blocksdown (talk) 14:22, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
