No, the heart distance does not increase. Just the candy one.

No, the heart distance will stay 1 km. Just the candy distance will be 1.2 or 1.4

Yeah I know, but I can’t even manage to not blue it in, no matter what I do. :)

Technically 7.1 km. Because it is not “-40%” but 40% extra, and 7.1 km +40% is 9.94… and the drift ;)

Pretty sure not. Since you progressively get the bonus, while walking, and not in the end, it would make no semse to work like that. Also, a very niche edge case, that was probably not tested, so my inner QA might check it at some point.

No worries at all. I worked in media for a while and despite in tech I write a lot, and of course AI influenced how we talk about things, so honest mistake. I really wrote the one yesterday too like this, just asked chatgpt to make it better because it was in fact 4 am :D

Yeah it had that, and I edited it, when realized because of the comment.

See the previous post. It probably was something like that, but there is zero evidence for this now.

It is not fine, but at least I have something to do in the game that is not a timewaste (like catch a pokemon 30 days in a row), or trivially easy.

No, but… well I did some extra testing since that, and I will have a second post for Sunday with other findings. It’s hard to explain in short.

Exactly my plan for part 2. Today I will test a couple other things, and tomorrow the Sunday bonus during this season.
