You can easily find the real number score by taking the exponent times 10 (11) and moving the decimal that many spaces right, then fill in with zeroes. 1.913e11 = 1.913*10^11 but also 1.913e11 = 191,300,000,000 (one hundred ninety-one billion, three hundred million).

"better" is arguable, you usually WANT banana to die to unlock Cavendish. If it stays alive too long then you get into awkward situations where you are getting better jokers than +15 mult but not as good as x3. Then it starts feeling a lot like dead weight if it keeps on surviving.

This is by nature of an exponential x scaling is going to get a lot bigger a lot faster then the geometric series happy face was making since it was only +4

[@CrazyMegaOmega]

@@d4670 Are you sure? What makes happy face so good is that it gets added when the joker is scored, and then polychrome is applied and later down the track steel cards are applied as well. Meaning that the +4 JUST from the first face card would go through say 2 or 3 polychromes and 2 or 3 steel cards and end up as like 45 extra mult, and this is without retriggering. overall the happy face was giving at least a few hundred mult, later with more enhancements and glass cards added in it was giving thousands.
