Default Re: Official *Party Screwed Monster Seat Holders* Thread

I think the best way to figure this out would be the following...

There was $14.5 million in the Final jackpot.
There was $7 million left in monthly freerolls.
There was $2.2 million left in the weekly freerolls (about 22 left)

Everyone who has a final entry, gets 1 share of final jackpot.

Everyone with Monthly entry gets 1 share of monthly jackpot, plus 0.125 shares of the Final jackpot. (1 in 8)

Everyone with weekly freerolls gets 1 share of weekly jackpot, 0.25 shares of monthly jackpot(1 in 4), and 0.03125 shares of final jackpot(1/4*1/8 = 1/32).

Now calculate what the shares are worth and divide accordingly.

If there are 1000 final entries, 10,000 monthly entries, and maybe 10,000 weekly entries as well, then:

Final has 1000 shares + (0.125*10000) + (0.03125*10000) =

1000 + 1250 + 312.5 = 2562 shares.

Each Finals share is $14.5 million / 2562 shares = $5650

Monthly has 10,000 shares + (0.25*10,000 weeklys) = 12500 shares

each Monthly share is $7 million / 1250 = $560

Lets figure out how many shares we shall divide that into

So Final is worth $5650(1 share final)
Monthly is $760(0.125 shares final) + 1 share monthly($560)
Weekly = 0.03125 final + 0.25 monthly + 1 weekly = $176.50 + $140 + $220 = $536

FINAL TOTALS:

Final: $5650
Monthly: $1320
Weekly: $536



Checking those values we have
($5650)*(1000 entries) = $5.65 million
($1320)*(10000 entries) = $13.2 million
($536)*(10000 entries) = $5.36 million

Add those totals we get $24.2 million which is the total monster jackpot ($14.5 million) + monthly ($7 milion) + Weekly (2.2 million) = $23.7 million

My rounding errors account for the difference so the amounts in bold are off +- 2%
