Thanks for that

I have taken the summer off from toontown .

I initially thought these were good statistics, but this is not what I was talking about.

This is not a rarity percentage chart.

This is a percentage chart on Victories per Attempts chart.

If this is a rarity chart then some new math has been discovered.
If you add up, what you have posted
34.72+37.23+36.47+28.21+31.25+34.42+23 = 225.3% This is a tad bit more than 100%, which is today's accepted maximum math probability of an event occuring, and does not even include the other 22 cards that are possible to be found.

Their group rescued 25 out of 72 Flippy cards. Meaning of the 72 times they went in and fought the VP for a Flippy Card they only beat the VP 25 times and lost 47 times.

These might be good statistics for your chance of having a victory for a particular card. But the wild card factor included in this is the toon experience. If this chart is for running with random toons, then this percentage of me having a victory in one in three chances is possibly correct. If I run with three of my friends all day, I will bet our success ratio would be more like 99.99%.

I am talking about a true rarity chart

There are 29 cards. If you divide 1/29 = .034483. Multiply .034483 * 100 = 3.4483% of each card appearing.

Each card has a 3.4483% of appearing in a statistically balanced world. But, we all know that some cards are harder to find. Such as Lil Oldman, Barnacle Bessie, and Professor Pete.

But some cards are rarer than others. If you tell me that you have found a Flippy card 34.72% of the time you have gone in to fight the VP, then I will tell you that you are one very lucky toon. And congratulations and I wish I would run with you.

I realize that most posters on these boards are kids and probably do not understand some of the logic(illogic?) in my posts.
