Talk:The Pit

Recycling new things?


I noticed the chains in this picture of what's believed to be the dominion tower look very similar to the picture of what is believed to be the pits. I'm fairly certain it's just recycling, but maybe this picture is the entrance to the pit? Xhanort7 17:38, October 7, 2011 (UTC)

Nevermind. I'm almost 100% certain it's just recycling. The chains are different colors too. Xhanort7 17:41, October 7, 2011 (UTC)

Karaoke!
I play in fixed screen mode. When I got this game there wasn't time to move out of the way of the rocks. Not sure if that is how it is supposed to work - i.e. luck - or you are supposed to see and dodge the rocks. Perhaps someone in full screen mode can say if you can see the rocks and dodge.

Exp
Hey i got 5220 exp (before gambling) for doing high-low there at level 94

Reward Data
Ok lets set up a table for submitting experience data, since we don't yet know the details and people are adding it to the page despite it being seemingly variable. Note that this should be experience before gambling. -- 01:15, October 14, 2011 (UTC)

the not succesful karaoke at ape atoll is the same xp reward, but the level is different.

the succesfull floor is lava gives the same xp, too bad we dont know what course the first one was on.

two of the non succesfull "put the thing in the other thing"are the same reward xp, the third, which has been done on an other course, isnt the same.

Gambling: "each has an equal chance of occurring"
As for the source of this, I believe one of the characters said this when they were first introducing the gambling option.

- Yup, werewolf dude says this exactly. AceMcDonut 13:08, October 16, 2011 (UTC)

Talent Scout
Is it just me, or does the Talent Scout look like Mel Gibson? 14:21, October 14, 2011 (UTC)

Floor is Lava
The first crate I jumped on buckled out so we can assume that the third assumption is invalid. Anyone want to double check this? 10:23, October 16, 2011 (UTC)

Explanation of First Draft of The Pit's Success Odds
Just wanted to record some of the reasoning behind the percentages I've logged in the article - particularly because I had some questions about my own numbers, so any extra input would be fantastic:

Crate Expectations: 31.25% odds of success - simple as 5/16, or else accumulating the odds of each individual crate (15/16 * 14/15 * 13/14 * 12/13 * 11/12).

The Floor is Lava: This could do with a lot of thought and work, as it gets particularly complicated depending on how it actually works.

However, given Beatter's experience of failing on the first box, perhaps it really is a matter of a 5%'ish success ratio - after all, if half of all attempts fail on the first crate, we can't go expecting anything that great. More input and experiences here would be extremely valuable - on my only attempt I made my first three jumps successfully.
 * The lowest odds (3.13%) were calculated on the crass assumption that each of the crates in the sets of two has a 50% chance of success, and the crates in sets of three have a 33.33% chance of success - so (0.5^3 * (1/3)^2).
 * The medium odds (5.56%) were calculated on a similar assumption, where the sets of two have 50% success chance, and the sets of three have a 66.67% chance of success - so (0.5^3 * (2/3)^2).
 * The best odds (11.1%) were calculated identically but with one less step assuming the first crate was always safe - so (0.5^2 * (2/3)^2). This was mainly because I struggled to imagine an event that only had a 5.56% chance of success!

High-Low There: This was a bit of a nightmare to think about because of all the potential combinations. In the end I realised that regardless of your number, if you made the sensible guess (Higher for <6, Lower for >5) then your chances would always be somewhere between 56% and 100%. Thus I averaged the favourable options (100%, 89%, 78%, 67%, 56%) to become 77.78%, and raised it to the power of six for your six guesses. 0.7778^6 = 22.13%, which was my suggested minimum likely success ratio.

Karaoke: I couldn't give any statistics for this - in one sense it's very much a game of chance, though it's actually pretty easy compared to many of the others in my opinion.

Punch the Hungry Sheeps: Similar to Crate Expectations, except with a 5 in 14 chance. 5/14 = 35.71%. I'm starting to wonder if Jagex haven't done something different here though, as the only three recorded attempts at this minigame so far have been successful... what are your experiences?

Put the Thing in the Other Thing: Again, no statistics here - if you know what you're doing it should be completable 100% of the time.

All input, corrections and feedback encouraged. AceMcDonut 13:02, October 16, 2011 (UTC)

As for punching the sheep, I had this event today and failed. 22:11, October 16, 2011 (UTC)
