    I'm amazed by the fact that this is apparently "a slightly smaller update than normal." These are amazing! Thank you to all the Devs for your hard work, and to the build team for making such a great new spawn! It was definitely needed!

    I read somewhere that each ad is 1 minute? So let's do some math, 50/20 simplifies to 5/2, and that means 5 ads/2 cents, if we use "a" as a variable for ads, and "c" for cents, we can say the following is true. It takes around $20 on the shop to make the magic happen, so we can say that $20= 2000c, so we create our final equation.


    xa/2000c = 5a/2c

    2c x 1k, 5a x 1k

    xa/2000c = 5000a/2000c.

    y/2000c {X} x/2000c

    xa = 5000a a=1

    x = 5000

    Now to account for time,

    5000 minutes = 3.4722222222222222 days.

    Conclusion? It would take 3.4722222222222222 days worth of ad watching to make $20, which very nice of the GTM Staff, Devs, and everyone who thought of and worked on this. Personally, as an F2P Player, I think I'm going to be watching ads for the next few weeks.

    What about the time of ads? most ads I see for these kinds of things are 10-30 seocnds long and my math equated to 17-52 days of watching ads

    Ads are around 10-30 seconds long. What you also have to factor in is the cooldown time between ads which I believe is 45 seconds - 1minute from what I have experienced.

    I calculated it if the ads are 1 minute each, so if you cut that number in half, then you should get the time for 30 seconds, 1.73611111 days.

    @NoHaxJustSpark Hello. I think you made your maths incorrect. Here is the correct maths.



    xa/2000c = 5a/2c

    2c x 1k, 4a x 1k

    xa/2000c = 4000a/2000c.

    y/2000c {X} x/2000c

    xa = 5000a a=1

    x = 4000


    Hoped I could help you with your autism

    Hey, thanks for going through my math, but I think you have an error in yours as well.
    In the reddened part, you don't multiply "4a", but "5a" instead. This is why your entire work is incorrect.
    Again, as @_Hashtec_ mentioned, we are all a family here, so no need to be rude. Don't get me wrong, constructive criticism is great, but if you call me autistic for no good reason, that's not okay.

    P.S. Don't insult me and my knowledge unless you are absolutely sure you are right. In this case, you weren't, and now it isn't me who has "autism"
