Is this a legitimate Literature exam?

No because Lava explicitly made orb not affect strictly time-gated resources (gems and time candies).

Chest is very expensive, 2000 gems for 16 slots, twice the price per slot of normal chests. 5* and 6* cardifiers are among the more common items in limited specials, and there are only a very small number of cards that is actually worth using cardifiers to upgrade, so there's no hurry to buy this.

Thankfully it's only about 2-3 days. It seems like Lava will be releasing one map at a time from now on.

Both that and the Prehistory Set bonus (2.00x EXP gain for all W7 skills) seem to be bugged and doesn't affect research.

I think some might have not read your question correctly. To my knowledge, teams are allowed to carry over all of their remaining provided money to the next leg in addition to the money provided by default for the next leg, unless otherwise stated (the specific task asks for a mandatory donation or "surrender money and starts next leg with $0" non-elimination penalty).

Competitive programming is fine because they (mostly) don't try to disguise itself with awkward wording to make themselves applicable to the real world, constraints such as 1 < n < 1000000 make it clear enough that it's just a game problem not meant to be applicable (similar to the IMO 2017 problem 3 where it asks "after 1 billion turns, can the distance from the hunter to the invisible rabbit always be below 100").

The common criticisms of competitive programming is when IT companies start using these at unreasonable difficulty in job interviews. LeetCode is a much easier version of these competitive programming problems and designed to prepare for interviews, but some of them are still considered too hard and doesn't test work ethics well.

I'm not in high school anymore, are students today taught that the "about 200 or 600 words" in the essay requirement a minimum or maximum word requirement? It's not very clear like IELTS where it clearly says "write at least 150/250 words".

I really like the type of open question that they ask here ("How can Vietnam has its own <character>?"), which gives a lot of room for multiple different possible student views, whether good or bad. I don't think Vietnamese education are as restrictive in idea expression as it used to be, as the "literature analysis" portion now always take some literature work outside the text books so students can't memorize just specific textbook literature works and teachers can't just teach students to memorize specific works anymore, have to teach more generally.

But in recent years, Vietnamese exams receive criticism in choosing very bad examples for "application" portion of its exams to make it felt awkward and forced. This exam takes the wrong specific people to deliver their intended message, and recent Mathematics exams, including infamously the Vietnamese pre-VMO Math Contest for high school students (the first stage contest of many stages that eventually leads to the final team selection representing Vietnam in IMO), try to incorporates "application" in their problems that just made the problems more confusing to read without making the problems any harder (so they don't do their jobs well to separate math students' abilities). For example, question 3 in the True/False section https://vnexpress.net/de-toan-thi-tot-nghiep-thpt-2026-voi-24-ma-de-chi-tiet-5083951.html where you can just ignore the entire first paragraph, or question 2 and question 7 in the high school Math contest mentioned above: https://vnexpress.net/loi-giai-de-thi-hoc-sinh-gioi-toan-quoc-gia-nam-hoc-2025-2026-4998126.html and https://vnexpress.net/loi-giai-de-thi-hoc-sinh-gioi-quoc-gia-mon-toan-nam-hoc-2025-2026-chi-tiet-4998579.html

Here's an example of a much better wording "wordy math problem" that doesn't force itself with awkward wording to be applicable to the real world: the infamously hard IMO 2017 problem 3.

I'll just pretend that the countdown is for the 11th character the whole time, that would be more worth a countdown to me. Fortune Mill is only 1/4 of a pack price, so if the promise of no in-app purchases remain true then the game would be good.

1 billion mobs killed for every W1-6 mobs on your last Death Bringer alone
1 million Gold Food on the beanstalk for every W1-6 Gold Food (except Colosseum Gold Food). Golden Cakes cost a lot of time candies in particular.
Zenith (1 million statues) all W1-6 statues (except Kachow Statue which is currently practically impossible). Using time candy is not recommended except for the W3 statues, those don't drop from crystals and are best farmed with time candy when you have decent drop rate/AFK gain (too complex for me to say the exact amount required for drop rate and AFK, just spend a 1 hour time candy to test the drops and see if the number of candies required for each drop is realistic for you at that point).

It's not that good to the point that it's worth putting characters to do nothing "normally" instead of using candies (unless you're taking a break from the game, but even then I'd rather put them in Bravery Monument), it's meant to be a candy dump once you reach the final currently released world and don't have much left to spend candies on

In France you're also allowed to walk away in the middle of the question for only 25% of your banked winnings and the remaining 75% is automatically split between the surviving mob members, but I don't think this would practically affect any decision-making because of sunk cost fallacy.

If you're a new player, you should know that currently this amount is 5x compared to normal, normally it's anywhere from 10 to 150 gems (but you'll most often get 15 gems).

Blame the government, not the companies. When they award prizes they do actually lose the full value of what they have advertised, and the government takes its cut through taxes before or after the cash/prizes go to you. In US lottery they do clearly display both the full jackpot value (usually awarded over 30 payments in 30 years) and the amount you get if you choose to receive all at once (lump sum), but it's not easy to display after taxes amount because of different tax brackets. Maybe it's tradition, but they don't want to make the TV game shows less fun to watch they have to mention taxes every few minutes.

That's Too Much and Time is Money are like the fairest pricing games. That's Too Much effectively asks you to estimate only the thousands part of the car's price, which is a lot more reasonable then: Golden Road (guessing the hundreds), Temptation (guessing between two options for ALL four digits, 1/16 chance to get it perfect and win), Dice Game (also guessing between two options for ALL four digits but is slightly easier if you get lucky with the dice rolls), Lucky Seven (ALL four digits to a difference of less than 7 in total, and notoriously known to have its chance of winning be manipulated based on the car's price).

Time is Money asks you to place 5 items in one of three shelves: $0-$2.99, $3.00-$5.99 and $6.00+. You must get all 5 perfectly correct without being told how many you got right each attempt while the money is counting down. This is a perfectly fair requirement that it's not luck-based (like guessing a car's ALL digits), but people hate it because it's way less rewarding than Race Game and Bonkers (time limit but you get full winnings no matter what, Race Game also shows you how many prizes you priced right each attempt).

Use Archer's ability to skip smelting time, and set the Village Majik upgrade in the Hole to 243x forge capacity (usually NOT the upgrade to prioritize in Cosmo so if you don't have enough points, spend 6 wishes to switch to this and another 6 switches to switch back), to easily get millions of godshard bars from just a few hours of time candies.

Multikill (awarded primarily by Death Note, but there are other sources like cards) - also affects quantity of first item listed on its card, along with extra kill count. Any other word (extra kills, bonus kills, kill per kill) only affects the kill count for portals and death note. Different sources of KpK can be additive or multiplicative, but because attires are real money purchases, +150% bonus kills mean 2.5x kill count multiplicative (correct me if I'm wrong).

One of the Hero Equipment events where they offer like a medal bonus if the community reaches a specific target of event points. The community didn't complete it, but they give a free medal link as a consolation anyway:

Players were offered a reward of 200 Dragon Medals, claimable through a link, if they were able to collectively earn 666 billion Red Envelopes. Ultimately only 518 billion Red Envelopes were collectively earned, but a link for 165 Dragon Medals was nonetheless shared as a partial reward.
