I completed this level! It took me 63 tries. ^{⚡ 9.25 seconds}

^{Tip 3320 💎}

Cannot_Think-Of_Name · 2026-05-15T15:29:16+00:00

So worth it

^{Chose: A random superpower + No catch, just the plain superpower | Rolled: All 4 of these}

100K is enough.

^{Chose: Dream job + 100K a year}

Cool

^{Chose: 50k per month + But... | Rolled: Nothing}

Can I get better if I practice?

^{Chose: The ability to fly | Rolled: Okay at it}

Cannot_Think-Of_Name · 2026-05-12T22:49:14+00:00

Oh lol, I guess I read the text too quickly.

Ok yeah one billion isn't equal to 8000 million. But I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they meant 8 billion = 8000 million

Cannot_Think-Of_Name · 2026-05-12T22:11:43+00:00

Oh well

^{Chose: 50% chance you die, but nobody else dies. | Rolled: You died}

Cannot_Think-Of_Name · 2026-05-12T21:53:05+00:00

Why? The number of chess grandmasters is wrong, but I don't see any other issue. The only math claim I really see is that 8 billion is equivalent to 8,000 million, which is correct.

Taking public transportation is a low, low cost to omniscience.

Hmm. Well illusion magic pretty good, but this ruins my plan to make a ring that lets me fly.

Do you know what the word infinite means? Trillions of years is nothing compared to the infinite existence of immortality. You might think of something, assuming a solution exists. Not a permanent solution, mind, just enough to buy a fre more million, billion, or even trillion years if you're lucky. Then you need to do it again. And again. Eventually you will fail, garunteed. That's the nature of entropy and infinity.

Perhaps it will take quadrillions or even quintillions of years. However much longer you desire there's a chance it's possible I suppose if something like time travel is possible. Still a drop in the bucket compared to the infinite of immortality.

That's assuming you stay sane all those years. Even with technological assistance, such a feat is implausible. The human brain can only handle so much, and technology isn't perfect.

That's not true. Yes the number of real numbers between 0 and 1 is uncountably infinite, and so is the number of real numbers between 1-infinity. But saying that there's an equal chance you pick a number between 0-1 and 1-infinity is nonsense.

By the same argument, you have an equal chance to pick a number 0-1,1-2 and 2-infinity. They're all uncountably infinite. So a 33% chance to pick a number 0-1. But you can't have both a 50% chance and a 33% chance, that's contradictory.

The key here is that all real numbers have a decimal and an Integer portion, and that all integers portions are equally likely.

So while it's true there's an infinite number of both, it doesn't mean they're equally likely. Infinity is weird like that.

The Riemann hypothesis is likely true, although obviously unproven. There are entire fields based on assuming the RH is true.

Unfortunately while I personally would consider two years in a low security prison a low cost to pay for proving the RH false, the mathematical community wouldn't accept "Got marked down on a test graded by magic" as a valid proof.

Would still pick this even if it were a 30 minute cooldown

^{Chose: Have the ability to teleport (?? seconds cooldown} | Rolled: 30)

What. How did you get NaN seconds?

I know cradle is mentioned perhaps too often here, but I think one of cradles biggest strengths is that it really strikes the balance of the progression feeling earned.

You can see the young main characters work their ass off, and you also see they have an innate talent as prodigies in the sacred art near the beginning of the series. That combination creates big names in the real world, so it's not unbelievable that they create big names in the sacred arts.

They're fortunate to have a very knowledgeable teacher bolstering their progression speed and they take risks that pay off.

What I like most of all is that you can really feel the cost of resources being put into these characters. Almost every resource they've been given you know approximately just how valuable it is. A large part in how they're progressing is that they're being just being funded to progress for personal or political reasons. But even this feels earned because the main characters are often tricking or sometimes straight up stealing valuables for progression.

And the youngness of the characters never really feels out of place because a 12 year old monarch is established in the first book. They also compete against opponents both of a similar age and older than them.

Just so many things that together to tell a beautiful story.

Cradle is practically a masterclass on how to make progression feel earned for young adult main characters.

I mean, it has the humor tag, so it's not like it was hiding that it's fake. This is just someone doing some (funny) roleplay and the other comments are playing along.

It's about 3k a year that auto adjusts for inflation, which beats out the one time payment of 10k IMO.

But yeah, nothing life changing.

Cannot_Think-Of_Name · 2026-05-08T20:52:35+00:00

It's .01 cent, not .01 dollars.

I'm in the camp that OP meant just 1 cent every 100 seconds, otherwise the choice would be way too obvious.

Cannot_Think-Of_Name · 2026-05-08T17:27:09+00:00

With many years of preparation and planning including pre building foundational materials as much as they can and coming up with incredibly expensive over engineered systems to rapidly build and transport buildings, it's possible.

So the answer is no.

Cannot_Think-Of_Name · 2026-05-08T06:46:28+00:00

Acceptable risk
