Revision as of 15:48, 28 January 2018

The Hero Dash puts you in front of a lot of contrived situations, but solving a complicated algebra formula to defuse a bomb... honestly isn't in the top ten, but it's probably up there.

Figuring this thing out without doing the prep work seems like it'll take at least an hour. Ain't nobody got time for that.

If you've selected Study up but not Ask your computer:

You've determined N digits.

If you've selected Ask your computer but not Study up:

You've dedicated a terrifying M megahertz of processing power towards solving the formula.

If you've selected both Study up and Ask your computer:

You've determined N digits and put a terrifying M megahertz of processing power towards solving the formula.

Options:

• Study up
  
• Ask your computer
  
• Solve with no letters
  
• Maybe later
  

Results

If you chose Study up:

Studying Like A Hero
You pore over (and maybe pour over if you haven't caffeinated enough tonight) the formulas, wracking the far ends of your brain to understand its clockwork perfection.

If you ?:

You turn your massive intellect to cracking the next few digits of the answer. It's all coming together.

• Determine 2 digits

Otherwise:

You apply some mental elbow grease to the problem. You don't get any insane breakthroughs, but this stuff is mostly hard work and dedication anyway.

• Determine 1 digit

And then, if you have a clockwork owl (companion) active:

Your clockwork owl whistles some hints into your ear. Good thing only you can understand it.

• Determine and additional 1 digit

If you chose Ask your computer:

Better Than Scantron
Teachers always said you wouldn't always have a computer with you, but they clearly didn't foresee you becoming a superhero.

Your computer tears through calculations like a hot knife through cyberbutter (still the second best topping for circuitbread, no matter what folks outside of the Commonwealth might still).

• Dedicates 3 megahertz of processing power

If you chose Solve with no letters:

The Anti-Math Equation
You attempt to finish the formula, so you can go back to never thinking about math again... except for work and everytime you need to figure out a tip.

You cram like a student the night before the test for X minutes and get Y damage of brain cramps afterwards.

If you are defeated:

But that's all you have in you.

If this is the first completed trial of the Dash:

The booth right after the event offers you a drink.

You got an item: Water Drinkadile

or

You got an item: Garlic Drinkadile

or

You got an item: Lavender Drinkadile

If this is the second completed trial of the Dash:

The booth right after the event offers you some refreshment.

You got an item: Hero Dash nuts

or

You got an item: Hero Dash licorice

or

You got an item: Hero Dash expresso

If this is the third completed trial of the Dash:

You've finished today's Hero Dash in <amount of time taken>. Congratulations!

If you chose Maybe later:

Fight Now, Dash Later
No time for dashing right now, you've got crime to fight!
