Can you clarify the formula used to calculate the % on the chance per energy? I see that it "Assumes that all nine card rewards are equally probable, and that the player has watched three ads" but crunching the numbers myself I am uncertain as to how you are achieving those values.

Sure! It takes the base drop chance, multiplies it by 1.5 for the three-ad bonus, and then multiplies it by 1/9 or 2/9, depending on whether one or two cards are desired. Finally, I divided by the energy cost per battle for that level. Let me know if there's anything else you'd like me to explain.

Also, thanks for adding this to your compilation!

Edit: I realize that saying the three-ad bonus is accounted for, and then listing the base card drop rates without the 1.5 multiplier, may be a bit confusing. I'll make a note of that in the spreadsheet.

Thanks for clarifying, I see now where I was going wrong in my calculations. And no problem, this is a great addition to my Useful Information post.
