I ran some calculations to see the actual final score... Steel Kings with Red Seal: 67 Steel Kings (No Seal): 3 Other Kings: 3 Base score is 25 X 3 for a high card, playing a King is +10 chips. There are 3 Baron activations + 2 Mime activations per card. Each King in hand is *1.5^3 per activation, *1.5^4 if Steel. Each King in hand activates 3 times, 4 if it has a Red Seal. Each Basic King is *1.5^(3*3), so *1.5^(3*3*3) total for 3 cards. Each Non-Seal Steel King is *1.5^(4*3), so *1.5^(4*3*3) total for 3 cards. Each Red Seal Steel King is *1.5^(4*4), so *1.5^(4*4*67) total for 67 cards. Thus, the total mult is... 3 * 1.5^27 * 1.5^36 * 1.5^1072 = 3 * 1.5^1135 So, the score before plasma is now (35) X (3*1.5^1135). With plasma, the total score is then... ((35 + 3*1.5^1135)/2) X ((35 + 3*1.5^1135)/2) = ((35 + 3*1.5^1135)^2) / 4 = (35^2 + 2*35*3*1.5^1135 + (3*1.5^1135)^2) / 4 = (1225 + 210*1.5^1135 + 9*1.5^2270) / 4 Roughly... 1.20044e400. Well played. (Edit: Thank you to @gabrieltavares4867 for noticing an error in my working: 3 * 1.5^27 * 1.5^36 * 1.5^1072 = 3 * 1.5^1135 and not 3 * 1.5^1145, reducing the total from 3.992e403 to 1.20044e400)

[@Ordoscc]

That's way larger than the 64 bit upper bounds of 1.8e19, but since Balatro could show an e24 value that implies that the game might be using at least a 128 or even 256 bit variable to store the score. I think it's probably using, at most, 2^1024 bits to store the score. That'll put it at around 1.8e308.

[@PikachuSlapping]

@@Ordoscc No, they're almost certainly just using a double. You're right that it'd go up to e308, but it definitely would not take 1024 bits, just the usual 64.

I did the math (or rather desmos did), and each king trigger with two barons gives a 2.25 times multiplier. Each king triggers three times each plus an additional trigger with the red seal. This leads to a total of 219 separate triggers. If I ran the numbers correctly, this gives 1.34e77. Then, you divide that by two then square it because of the plasma deck. this leaves you with 4.5e153 chips. For those who don't know, an e means that you multiply the number by ten to the power of the number after the e. To put this into perspective, there are somewhere from e78 to e82 atoms in the known universe. Imagine if each atom in our universe had an entire duplicate of our universe of its own. If you had two more kings (so one more turn because of the cryptid cards), and if you took the total number of all of the atoms in the duplicates, they would be around the same number (If the number of atoms was e80 (which is halfway between the estimates), the original number would even be a hundred times as many).

Well, any computer program that uses a standard 64 bit floating point.

[@kamperemu]

not to be pedantic nerd but he hasn't "somehow scored more than any computer can handle" because a computer can handle wayyyy more even 1GB of data (which is considered small storage space) can handle 2 raised to 8 billion as a number. balatro probably uses the float datatype to calculate the values and the game probably reached its integer limit (you can go past the integer limit by making a special datatype but the programmer probably thought it be a better idea to show infinite past a certain number instead)

[@Hexagonaldonut]

@@kamperemu Yeah, roughly around e308 is the limit for a 64-bit float. It pops up regularly in idle games, which is the only other context in which I've seen numbers even remotely as absurd as this. (Most idle games get around this in some manner or another if they go that high, but in particular I believe representing numbers as separate base and exponent values is a common solution, as it'll let you functionally get up to 10^10^308, roughly.)

did all the math so we knew the exactish number you reached to try and beat it if needed, as well as to show it off Baron is 1.5 multi So is Steel Blueprints and brainstorm cause the Baron effect to go off a total of 4 times, mime then doubles this, and red seal can cause it again with the base of 3 you had, 66 steel red seal kings from crypt, 67 with your base, another 3 steel kings you end up adding 50% compounding a total of 792 times, giving about 8.74×10^139 multi, which the chips also become meaning in total you made around 7.64×10^279 chips if we were to expand that 764000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 For reference, these approximations Number of Atoms in the Observable Universe - Estimated to be around 10^80.

Bits in a Hypothetical Perfectly Efficient Universe-Sized Computer - If we assume a universe-sized computer where every particle is a bit, you might get around 10^123 bits. so yea, fat numbers, and for those who hate themselves enough to go beat it, you have your new target number

[@moritzgoe]

thanks! was wondering the same

[@jesperstaunhansen7190]

Shouldn't your number be larger than 1.7e308?

[@silversabercraft]

@jesperstaunhansen7190 it should be, but mind you, card activation visuals aren't consistent at that point, so I wouldn't be surprised if numbers slipped somewhere due to it counting a card differently, I was giving the mathematical answer, not the answer the game gave For all I know, those so called 1.5× cards are like 1.50000003× which at that scale can change the result

[@duckboycool]

@@silversabercraft Your numbers are low since you seem to be forgetting about the blueprint on mime. There should be 4 total rounds of 4 activations to make 16 for each red steel king, which you can also get from the video by just counting how many times they activate or looking at the total mult change from a single card at the start when it isn't so fast. This means that you'll actually have 1135 mult activations (from 16 for each of 67 red seal steels, 12 for 3 regular steels, and 9 for 3 regular kings) getting a mult of 2.2*10^200, which after plasma's balance would give right around 10^400, well above the float maximum as expected. Also it's hard to say for sure, but going frame by frame it looks like you can also see that the final mult number had an e200 in it.

[@silversabercraft]

@@duckboycool that's the issue, I was carefully counting how many times each activated to work out this, so if I'm missing something it's because it doesn't have an activation visual or it didn't display correctly I did that math at 3am

[@apollo4294]

I think the baron increases effectiveness of kings while the kings give a passive 1.5x multiplier while in the hand and then the blueprints duplicate the ability of other jokers or something so then it kinda triggers the passive king sequence another time?? No idea what they do either but it seems really cool

[@Ursy]

Same. I have no idea how to play or any idea on understanding poker. It might as well be spoken in Italian but I can understand roughly what's happening based on tone.

[@AzureKite]

@@apollo4294 Baron makes it so each king in hand gives 1.5x. Mime re-triggers every effect that triggers in the hand. Perkeo copies a consumable. Blueprint copies the effect of the joker immediately to the right of it. Brainstorm copies the ability of the joker furthest to the left.

[@misirtere9836]

The math is as follows. You start with 3. That's how much the High Card is worth at first. Then you take a Red Seal Steel King. Steel multiplies the score by 1.5x, and because of the Baron, being a King does as well. The Red Seal means it is scored an additional time, so each of those happens twice. Then you take the Jokers. Each Baron causes each King to be worth another 1.5x each time it's scored, and the Mime scores each King an additional time. In the final arrangement of jokers, there are 3 Barons and 2 Mimes. As a result, each individual Red Seal Steel King does the following: - x1.5 (Steel) - x1.5 (Baron 1) - x1.5 (Baron 2) - x1.5 (Baron 3) - Repeat all the multipliers (Red Seal) - Repeat all the multipliers (Mime 1) - Repeat all the multipliers (Mime 2) This means that each Red Seal Steel King multiplies the score by 1.5, sixteen times. Now we apply the Cryptids. Each Cryptid creates 2 additional Red Seal Steel Kings. With 33 Cryptids, that's 66 Kings. Add the one that was there to begin with and that's 67. With 67 Red Seal Steel Kings triggering 16 times each, that starting score of 3 is multiplied by 1.5 a total of 1072 times (not accounting for the other seven Kings because i don't feel like it). That's a score of 3 x 1.5^1072 in the final hand. If you plug that into your calculator, it will get very upset and start screaming "e" at you, 189 times to be precise. However, there's one more factor to account for, which is the Plasma Deck. The Plasma Deck takes the multiplier and the chips and averages them out. Since the chips are statistically insignificant, this means the score is divided by two, and then multiplied by itself. When a calculator is screaming "e" at you, "itself" is a lot more than 2. This makes it start screaming "e" a lot louder, 377 times now. This is not ACTUALLY infinity. There is a point when it stops. However, Balatro is incapable of registering numbers higher than 308 "e"s, so when the calculator starts screaming louder than that, Balatro gives up and just says it's infinity.

"naneinfinity," for those confused, is a really weirdly formatted way of saying: "Not a Number with infinite zeros" He managed to score so high that he managed to break the game's count, making a number so large that it thinks some impossible number is at the front end of an infinitely long series of zeros. As a software dev I can only imagine how the code handled this, and I can only wonder what's next from here.
