+'ing equation

Bosi · 12/04/2006, 10:43

Got bored one night, decided go make an equation on how to find how many "+1's" are needed to ... well "+" up an item. Took about an hour, with trial and error, but I came up with an equation.

This is to "+" up a "+0" item:

((3^x)/3)+1

x is equal to the "+#" desired. For example, if you wanted your "+0" item to be "+9," you plug 9 in where x is at.

((3^x)/3)+1
((3^9)/3)+1
(19683/3)+1
6561+1
6562

So, 6562 "+1" items are needed to "+9" a "+0" item.

If the item you wish to "+" is already a "+1" and a "+1" ONLY, then remove the +1 at the end of the equation ((3^x)/3)+1 so that you end up with ((3^x)/3).

Hope this helps you figure out how far you wanna go with your "+'ing!"

Nice work. I was actually thinking of finding out this equation, but seems like you got to it first

let's call is the Bosi equation =)

bosi equation, nice, and also his first post was giving something and not leaching VERY NICE!

+K of course :P Its too early in the morning for me to do maths but i believe you :P

Here's a much easier equation.

Assuming the item you're +'ing is already a +1, use 3^(x-1) -- which is exactly the same as your equation if you simplify it by one step -- with x as the +# you're trying to acheive. If the item you're starting with has no + value, simply add 1.

Hooray for less math!

Here's another one for you (assuming X is the level you want, and Y is your level, and y != 0, and X != 0):

Code:

3^&#40;x-1&#41;-3^&#40;y-1&#41;

lol... more posts about information most of us already knew

aside from my sarcasm. i'd have to second Mokujin, and say it's a wonderful thing to see a useful post from a noob, it being your first post, i salute you.

i also agree that we can call this the Bosi Equation. however, Bosi might want to make it a more flexible one like wolvereness. you all can figure it out, my judgement skills are needed elsewhere.

EDIT: when i said flexible i meant flexible in the mathematical sense... also called "conditional"

Sure enough, right after I post this, I find an online calculator!

lol sure enough. but i think the main point is that atleast you tried to contribute something. Well done

quickly... make it a conditional equation... grab the credit... and run like squirrel on fire...
