I actually graphed the turnip prices in Nooks Cranny for a while (for at least a few months i think) just for fun. And I found that to reach an EXTREMELY high selling price (500+ bells) happens about every 3 ish months. Ofc, this only counts the data through my Nooks Cranny, so it could different throughout everyone's islands. Also, if anyone wanted to know, turnip prices tend to rise over a course of 3 days, hitting the peak on the middle day, usually in the afternoon. The peak could be as low as the price you bought turnips at and most of the time (according my island prices) the week after your prices hit a high, the next week will be filled with completely low prices. Just thought this was cool to share lol :)

You could also just bury 30k everytime, 'cause the least you can get back is 3x 10k. If you lucky tho, you'll get 3x 30k. So you basically never lose.

[@a_thxna]

wait- dats true

[@micahedgehill494]

… if you bury 30K every time, you’re still technically losing money. if for every 10K you bury, you’re guaranteed to make 30K, you’re still losing the opportunity to make 90K for every 30K you bury instead of 10K (over the course of three days) and don’t get lucky (making 90K from one tree). this is of course with the assumption that planting 30K is a lot for some players who aren’t multi-bellionaires

[@SkaterDoodx]

So basically if you bury 30k you will make 30k back put in the form of 3 10k bags and so planting that will result in a loss of potential money?

[@krekire4152]

@@micahedgehill494 To elaborate. You have a guranteed 20K profit with 10k bells. But, if you bury 30k, you have a 70% chance of gaining a profit of 0 which averages out to be 0 bells. You also have a 30% chance to gain a profit of 60K bells. This really means you have an average of earning only 18K bells if you bury 30k, but of course, you only have the outcomes of 0 or 60k. If you do even more math, I've worked out that if you get 2 or less days where you triple, you effectively lose money. However, three or more, and you gain money. I dont quite know how to work out specific percentages, but I do know that having a profit of 120k is most likely, resulting in a net loss of 20k because you couldve gained 140k.

[@krekire4152]

To anyone who wants to figure out the exact stats, you just have to figure out how many permutations fit into every combo of profitable and neutral days and then do some compound probability. I just dont know how to find out how many permutations there are of a specific combination, only that there are 8 combinations and 128 permutations.

Wait. I thought Celeste shows up whether there's shooting stars or not? I've definitely had Celeste on my island without shooting stars...

There must have been. The thing is that there are two kinds of nights with shooting stars: -the ones when shooting stars may spawn (as well as Celeste), but not necesarily often -proper meteor showers, when shooting stars spawn non-stop and Celeste is guarranteed. If there isn't any other news, Isabelle will make an announcement about it, and villagers may comment on it too So it is perfectly possible that you saw Celeste in a night with like, four shooting stars per hour (I'm making up the numbers), but they are still there in case you want to farm the zodiac fragments. She will show up no more than once a week when you get shooting stars and, if you get them twice in a week, when you get the heavier shower. The showers happening depends also on the season and some other stats.

I've been colecting data from rocks for like almost 300 days now (please don't ask why), it seems like the probabilities for each material (for today) are as follows: rocks - 49.42% iron - 34.67% clay - 15.19% gold - 0.72% Even after so many days they vary by a significant amount. For example these are the values from two weeks ago: 49.36%, 34.79%, 15.13%, 0.71%. I have no idea what the programmed values are, i had my guesses, but the experimental values always diverged from them over time. For now I believe it could be like: 49.5%, 34.5%, 15.25% and 0.75%, but i have no proof for that apart from what I've calculated and what seems natural to me.

When I generated my island, it had two south river mouths and the island was sort of evenly split into four chunks, the two river beginnings on the top met at an intersection near the middle of the island, and spilt into two which both ended at the bottom. As far as I can tell, it is not on the graph of islands shown in the video. That makes me officially cooler than literally everyone else.

The chance all 3 items Timmy and Tommy have at the back of the shop would be the same color. 3.

When I first started playing I didnt know about the bell system of burying bells, and I buried 99,000 bells (I wasnt rich either) and for the first 2 times I did it I got 3 times the amount but I remember being devastated when I only got 30,000

10:48 tripped me up for a second because Plucky and Antonio were my starter villagers

[@doritobandito_1323]

I actually have an island layout that wasn't on the list! I have an east river layout with a natural star-shaped pond above resident services

[@smashbrosguyt915]

The rarest thing ever is actually finding an island open when searching for one and actually mustering up the courage to go to it.

[@brickbot2.038]

Hey! Our starting villagers were Plucky and Antonio! I can't believe the odds of them being demonstration for this video...

[@_wheat856]

to add to your specific fruit and flower combo you can also factor in the nook miles ticket random flower and fruit (1 of each per island on every ticket island, these odds could get worse with kappn)

i think i just got tricked into learning math

[@BizVlogs]

4:08 “he’ll show up on 7.14% of days. Feel free to debate me on this” Each of the 9 NPCs have an equal chance of spawning AFAIK. So even when factoring in the chance they might show up two weeks in a row, and the fact they can’t spawn multiple times a week, it’s doesn’t change the fact that they all have equal probability. They all go by the same spawning rules so 100% must be split evenly among them. So each one will show up on 11.11% of weekdays, or 1/9. Weekdays make up 71.43% of total days, so multiplying those two numbers we get that Redd will show up on 7.94% of all days.

the rarest thing is probably catching a large shadow fish and turns out to be a gold fish

[@shahidabegumhousewife9426]

For a second I thought you ment a whale and then I remembered that was just a dream and shadows the size of whales dont exist

[@Fearyfursday]

I thought I saw one while diving and I got scared lol

[@gabrielbaird6706]

I'm a dumb turnip so i'm prolly wrong but maybe heavy shooting stars can happen multiple times in a row? If so than that would probably be real rare :D

I happen to share my birthday with 2 villagers, one of which is on my island. :)

[@iamjohnporter67]

My birthday is on the 13th of October and I got Chops as my first campsite villager. FML.....

[@nin06]

I share a birthday with Maddie🙂 on the other hand my sister shares a birthday with Jingle… FREAKIN JINGLE

[@annatj]

I share my birthday with O'Hare & Rex :)

[@nin06]

@@annatj Belated happy birthday then🥳 I kicked O’Hare out the day after his birthday with a tiny bit of time travelling 😅

[@annatj]

@@nin06 Thank youuu🥰 Poor O'Hare but at least he got to celebrate his birthday on your island before getting kicked out😂

[@p_3ater160]

The animal crossing guide book does state that there is a 1% chance on home island and mystery island of getting gold nuggets but blue bloons have an 8% chance at gold nuggets

[@damientheshinx]

One thing he forgot: you’re more likely to get gold from a mystery island rock than a rock on your island.

[@Michael-dj6pd]

the best amount of bells to bury is 30k as you basically get your money straight back and still have a chance for 90k

[@tsukiminrai5880]

In regards to rotating characters, I think my GF's game was broken then! Because she would get Flick about 4-6 times in a 2 week period when she was hunting for Redd. About 35ish days later he finally shows up once, and Flick had about 15-20ish appearances in that time.. She now hates the character ^^; Lief was about 3 of those days, Kicks and Sahara none, Labelle 1, CJ 5 or 6, and Gulliver/Gulivarr twice.. Or one each... Cant recall ^^;

[@TroyVan6654]

4:10 Um, actually, it's not as simple as "on average every 14 days", because it's actually once every 9 weekdays, not exactly 2 weeks. Remember, there's always someone visiting in back-to-back weeks, so the average frequency must be more frequent than every 2 weeks. The probability of seeing a specific visitor in the 9-animal rotation on a random day is 5/7 (must be a weekday) * 1/9 = 7.94%. 7:12 1%, says the Companion Guide. Same probability on your own island as on a mystery island. Compatible with the data shown at 8:17 of 16 drops in 1312 chances (p-value = .403). 11:16 Um, actually, there are *21* possible buy prices and *441* possible sell prices, because both ends of each range are possible. (Try counting from 90 to 110 inclusive; there are 21 numbers total). So the correct probability is .0027%.

[@wybs6729]

is there anyway to dumb this down?

[@genehayes]

My wife and I both had the exact same starter villagers and island fruit (separate switches and games). I wonder what those odds were...

[@mimi_1522]

With money trees, I always bury 30,000 bells because then there’s a chance for 3 bags of that amount. If you don’t get the 3 backs of 30,000, you still get that amount worth back anyway

[@lilysparrowbeach83]

A villager actually catching a bug

[@kaijuteeth]

actually heres something abt the first event mentioned ; each island has a specific day where if you plant more than 10k, you'll get the same (x3) amount you planted mine for example was either wednesday or thursday, i remember i had signs for it and everything trying to figure out which day guaranteed more than the usual 30k bells although it is possible for your island to have more than 1 day where you can plant and get back more than 10k. its a bit time consuming, but its worth it IMO

[@marshallhorton7154]

I had turnips and weed selling in the same day, I think it has a 0.0000000001569251% chance of happening.

[@ashlady9]

I just started this game a couple days ago. And seeing how far things evolve the longer you play is so bizarre to me.

[@callme_dinoVODS8291]

Why is this so entertaining-
