Has that been confirmed?

I have leveled up my birds to max mastery, what, three times now, and I never noticed fewer snoutling choices as I maxed birds out (not even all in the same family, usually not, in fact). Even when I was down to just one or two classes for each bird, I would periodically run counts and was still getting 5+ snoutling buys regularly while previously having plenty of occasions where I would get only 2-3 buys back when I had a lot of birds/classes still in play.

I understand your mathematics, and it makes sense, but that doesn’t mean the mathematical model for how Rovio chooses is fully understood. That’s why I assume someone did the empirical data gathering both ways? As I said, I know getting down to just three or four classes (even across four birds) seemed to make the maxing out of those final classes FASTER for me, not slower — I was still getting plenty of snoutling choices and they were concentrated on just a few classes, thereby maximizing them faster (until the final bird where it is obviously the fastest).

Your limit case cannot be disputed, though. So, if I get down to just five classes for one bird, I should be able to maximize them all at once, correct? Is that what we have seen? Are you advancing all of your birds except one? (I know you have mentioned your methodology, but I forget…)

This is all anecdotal, but all I can tell you is that in the middle of the grind it seemed like I wasn’t getting anywhere, but once I got down to 5-10 classes, I was done in less than a week (granted, I was also applying the knowledge you helped me realize — this was for getting to M70). I would have trips to the Dojo where I would be able to advance the same bird 3-4 times in one trip. I always assumed the probability was just “snoutling offer vs. LC offer after a number of snoutling offers display”, not a more elaborate choice of now MANY snoutling offers there were vs LC offers.

I have no problem taking some figures once I get down to just a few classes left, and I will make sure to keep them across all birds. I will shoot for getting down to just five classes, one for each bird, and then see how many snoutling offers I manage on each Dojo trip. At least, I’ll TRY to remember to do that. In fact, the effect you are talking about should already be appreciable once only 10 or so classes are maxed out. Average number of snoutling buys should go down to 5-6 instead of 6-7, I would think… I suppose I should start logging now!

In the meantime, I am sure you can point me to posts among the 85 pages of this thread that confirm I am simply mis-remembering or biased in my perspective… *smile*
