Tsum Tsum Statistics: Is +coin & 5>4 bonus worth it?

It's been forever since I've updated this site because work has been pretty busy. 
But, there are some critical life questions I've come across that warrant setting aside life and work to address:

"Is it worth it to always turn on +coin bonus??"
"Is 5>4 bonus worth it??"

So, to answer these questions, I decided to record exactly how many coins I earn on each game using the same Tsum Tsum (level 4 Hawaiian Stitch) with 5>4 & +coin, and +coin only. This way, I can tell how much benefit the +coin and 5>4 bonus provides (of course there are unavoidable variables like how tired I am, Tsum mix visibility, etc.). 

To get to the point, the short answer to these most important life questions:

5>4: Not worth it, unless maybe you have some skill lvl 6, since I haven't tested that.
+coin: It depends on how good you are. 

For the +coin bonus, ask yourself: How many coins do you earn in a normal game? 
If you answered: 
1300+: Then, F-yeah, you should spend 500 coins to gamble on doubling or more your earnings. Plus even if you only get a 10% bonus, you're still earning ~1000 coins which is decent. You've got the change to spare. 

1000s - 1200s: Questionable. Do you buy a lottery ticket everyday even though you're in the low-middle income bracket? Then sure, why don't you get +coin instead of that lottery ticket. I'm sure you'll break even eventually, which is better than buying a real life lottery ticket, with the same thrill. 

Less than 1000:  Don't bother. Even if you get 100% bonus, which is rare, you'll lose so much coin on average than if you didn't. Save your coins to get better Tsums instead. 

I'll actually post my spreadsheet of game stats soon! 

Stab Wool Not People

So recently, I've gotten into needle felting (a demographic which consists almost entirely of wrinkly cat ladies and young asian girls). I don't know how I stumbled upon this activity, but there's something extremely calming about stabbing a helpless lump of wool hundreds of times. Perhaps if more people stabbed wool instead of people to relieve anger and stress there would be less murders. Just saying..

 

Carb-Wrapped Rotten Banana Recipe (a.k.a. Banana Bread)

So I mentioned in my last post that I'd post my recipe for amazing carb-wrapped rotten bananas, the perfect way to get rid of those sad bananas on your counter. 

Ingredients

9x5 inch loaf pan or 4x mini paper gift pans
1/2 cup butter, softened (save the wrapper for greasing pans)
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup mashed banana, preferably more freckled than a ginger


Directions

  1. Grease pan(s) with the butter wrapper and preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Cream butter and sugar in electric mixer until it forms a nice paste.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla to the mixture and mix until completely incorporated.
  4. In another bowl, combine all remaining dry ingredients except walnuts.
  5. Spoon dry ingredients into butter mixture with mixer running until incorporated.
  6. By hand, fold in sour cream, walnuts, and bananas.
  7. Spread evenly into the pan(s).
  8. Bake for 60 minutes (less for small pans) or until toothpick comes out clean

To make these look healthy and more tempting for the unsuspecting passerby, you can fold in dried cranberries. But you can also just say F it and fold in some dark chocolate chips to go all out.
