Figurines in Minish Cap
Sep. 21st, 2009 08:20 pmMinish Cap has a sort of gambling mini-game for collecting figurines - each try at a figurine costs a certain number of mysterious shells, and the more shells you spend the greater the odds of getting a new figurine are. Each extra shell you gamble increases your chances of success by 1% (i.e. if one figurine gives you a 50% chance, two will give you a 51% chance and three will give you 52%). The first figurine is a guaranteed success, as at that point all possible figurines are new and so only costs 1 shell. The second then costs 1 shell for a 100% chance, or 2 shells for a 99% chance, and so on up to final (130th at this point in the game) figurine which is one shell for a 1% chance or a hundred shells for a guaranteed success.
Anyway, while trying to get all of them I wondered just how long it'd take...
