Having the Skills to Pay the Bills

[sdhoey]

@Metropolis Man Could you please provide an example so I know where to look? I'm not having any issues at current.

Seranita in my test run the multiplier was 2.4 instead of 1.4. I can send you a pm will a pic in a few minutes when I get back to my computer

Don't forget everyone starts with 1.00. Maybe that's the issue?

Let me double check that then metro. Like I said, I just got back from vacation so my mind is still in Florida some where.

EDIT: @Metropolis Man @SeraNita  My apologies. I need another vacation to recover. I forgot about the 1.00 multiplier to start out with. So glad I haven't started my official run yet.  Gonna go back to bed now. But first I'm gonna go stand in a corner.

No worries. Better safe than sorry.

Spreadsheet is here. I made a couple of optimizations while I was in there as well. As for the base multiplier of 1, it's so the decimals multiply correctly otherwise it'd be much like dividing your score, and none of us want that.

Thank you SeraNita, That works good. My brain likes. Like I said, I'm gonna go off and get some more sleep now.

Thanks Shannon

First time doing a challenge this year:

My brother and sister team got the following

Bill #1-520
Bill #2 - 656
Bill #3 - 999
Bill #4 - 1,335

My four bills added up to 3,510
My two Sims maxed 13 their money making skills.
Therefore, my multiplier was 2.30.
So, my final score is 3,510 X 2.30 = 8,073 total
I hope my math is correct!

That was so much fun! I can't wait to see what the winning strategy will be.

It's great to see a new face participating in the challenges. Welcome, @TanGuob.

EDIT: By the way - I need to amend your score -- if you were confused by the rules, my apologies in advance. This event is a bit more complicated than others, but the most a player can claim as far as capped money-making skills is 8 -- 2 per Sim per billing period (4 billing periods). So, I will post your score with that change.

@Metropolis Man

Now I'm confused. If two sims can max a total of 2 skills each per billing period, That would be 4 skills each billing period maxed. At the end of those four weeks for a total of 16 skills. less is they didn't max one or two.

So it is possible to get a 2.3 multiplier. According to the spreadsheet.

Yes, my bad. SEE!? Now it's my turn to stand in the corner. Lol.

I removed my braindead comments above. Hehe.

*hands Ice cream cone* it's okay, i understand.

[SeraNita]

Me spreadsheet work good 'cause me triple-read rules to make.

[Isabelalabe]

I feel a bit rush with this one. Really pushing to finish it in time

Bill #1-1,699
Bill #2 - 21,722
Bill #3 - 22,371
Bill #4 - 34,418

And they maxed 12 money making skills

So... I think the score is 80,210 x 2.2 = 176,462 , right?

[Isabelalabe]

Now I just realize that the challenge ends in July! I though it was 30  June 

[SeraNita]

My math is reading the same as yours. Those are some pretty impressive bills too. I am also guilty of misreading the challenge end date as June rather than July.

[Metropolis Man]

So... I think the score is 80,210 x 2.2 = 176,462 , right?

Yep. I double checked your score. Nice job, by the way. Those were some big bills.
