So is that $10 divided by the square root of the person's Intelligence? I'm not sure what the "^" means in a math formula.
Sorry, I should be clearer, it is 10 to the power of the square root of the characters intelligence. Also it should probably be rounded to two significant digits.
Example:
Normal Joe: 10 Int
10^sqrt(Int) = 10^sqrt(10) = 10^(3.16227766) = 1,453.04 = $1,500
Real-smart guy: 40 Int
10^sqrt(40) = 10^(6.32455532) = 2,111,326.12 = $2,200,000
He SHOULD get a boat-load of money for them brains.
I distinctly remember in the recent Thing series that Reed commented how Ben's bike cost about $3 million to make to accommodate his increased bulk.
Even a super-super genius (Int=100) still
only gets $10,000,000,000 ($10 billion) for an inventing point.
No wonder we can't solve the national debt!
Super-super genius would need to spend all 100 of his inventing points for a level and he
still would be short.
(I'm only mentioning national debt for a sense of scale, no political commentary implies.
