As 2008 comes to an end this week, I thought it would be interesting to do a small statistical summary of the year's Photon Fortune (more popularly known as 'Luck').
I did not compile this information by hand, as that would be far too time-consuming. Earlier this year, I wrote a small application that downloads Photon Fortune information from the Internet daily. It does all the work for me!
Note that the numbers here are averages, and may have been subject to slight rounding error.
To view the complete breakdown of 2008 Photon Fortune by race and gender, click here.
Overall, Photon Fortune for 2008 averaged 1.11* across all races. Female Newmans had the highest average Photon Fortune for the year, at 1.13*. Female Beasts had the lowest Photon Fortune average this year, at 1.09*.
Across all races, zero-Photon Fortune days averaged out to about 154, or approximately 42% of the year. Male Newmans had the fewest zero-PF days (151) while female Beasts had the most (159).
"Megaholy" (3*) Photon Fortune occurred on an average of 76 days, or approximately 21% of the year. Female Newmans had the most "Megaholy" PF days (79). Male CASTs and female Humans tied for the fewest (74 days each).
Sonic Team has said in the past that they try to keep Photon Fortune approximately equal for everyone, and judging by the numbers here, it looks like they did that pretty well in 2008. Looking ahead to 2009, everyone has 3* Photon Fortune for the first two weeks, so we'll all be starting on even footing!
