I prefer the 15% option... doubling to 30% when the pot is 100 or over is almost infallible

I've found great abundance on the 5% ... Looks like you used the "double chance" option.

Considering that I only got involved in this event a few days ago (without doing the quests) ...
I've converted about
20
100 tickets into 3,755 (exclusively on the 5%).

The 15% may give-back to the community more that the 5% since
the 15% pot starts with
20
50 and is won 3-times more often than the 5% (which starts at
20
100).

Why does the hoodie guy hate me so much and have me negotiate encounters every week?

The 5% tickets give more to the community (and the pot) than 15% tickets (it's a better fundraiser).

The 15% option is like the Parable of the Talents all over again (just less so than the # 1 option ...
20
1 for
20
10).

show me the math.... my experience is that I can regularly put 5 or 6 on the 15% and make a profit (ie more than than guaranteed win) whereas 5 or 6 or 20 on the 5% gives me no return. I have little interest in winning the prize for the gamester - rather have enough currency to have a crack at the rewards I want to buy/gamble for

Hmm. 15% ticket is 85% 10 and 15% 50 profit, average 16, 5% ticket is 95% 15 and 5% 100, average 19.25. I'd not call this parable of talents, as you still contribute to community's wealth, not just for yourself, and its morale was to not have it all to yourself. At least the person with 5 talents gaining another 5 and the one with two gaining two more were equally rewarded.

but the 5% gives more for losing :P

it needs 20 times 5% (average)
makes a total of 100 + 19 * 15 = 385
(19 lost + 1 won)

in that times you could win 3 times 15%
3 * 50 (start) + 17 * 10 (lost tries that increases) = 320
(17 because 3 won makes 20 tries)

so the 5% gives much more back

The more you lose (to the neighborhood) ... the more you (and everyone) can win from the pot.
A neighborhood playing @ 5% wins more (from Inno) ... than a neighborhood playing @ 15%.

If everyone in the neighborhood could collude (work together) ... you would all get further together.
Nobody should click the "double chance" ... it makes everyone poorer.

An utopia, or a prisoner dilemma, the one that if both confess, both get jailed for one year, if one confesses, he gets 15Y and the other gets released, and if both won't confess, both get 3Y. Whoever plays altruistically, loses more, unless everyone do the same.

But in this case, even if everyone played to the 5%, it isn't guaranteed that everybody would individually get more than if they had played at 100%.

I think that Rain Forest Project is one of the prettiest Great Buildings.
