kaues··on Stimulation Clicker
This worked for me to go all the way to the end of the game:

setInterval(function() { document.querySelectorAll('button, .upgrade-icon').forEach((button) => button.click()) }, 1)

Author of the post here. I thought this was worth writing down and sharing. Happy to discuss more!

Sorry to hear the highlights are distracting, I could make a checkbox that disables them. The spelling of "in-formation" emphasizes that it is related to the meaning of "in formation", which is not something noticeable by default for most people I think.

Cool simulation, I guess it could be extended to generate more than 2 lines per config and aggregate all lines, and then it would likely converge to the respective binomial distribution stats on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_distribution.

I agree, and I think on this case it would recommend betting a negative value and taking the other side of the bet, since the expected value is negative.

Quoting from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelly_criterion: "If the edge is negative (b<q/p) the formula gives a negative result, indicating that the gambler should take the other side of the bet."

I've also concluded that the lowest chance (and highest variance) is the best strategy. Even though the expected value is the same for all options, as another comment says.

This means that in a real life casino roulette one should bet (the minimum bet) on a single number and stop after the first win (or after running out of money).

Sorry, I'm experimenting with ways to contact. In the past I had a contact form, but I suspect people typed their own e-mail incorrectly in the form. I want to avoid using external sites such as Facebook or Twitter. I also use Disqus for comments on some pages. Do you have other ideas?

I think I am the only user for now. It takes discipline. It helps me focus and do what I should to do.

Yes, they are averages. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-degree_relatives for example.
