they never mention base yield or anything of the sort. They could be clearer about that in-game, to avoid confusion - not just for this question, but for the game itself as well.
This! I think there are a few things the game should really be clearer about from the start, and this is one of them.

Fields question:
Benny's already in place (hired), so his addition calculates when you plant the field, before you have put humus (but you don't actually receive that extra yield until it harvests, if I understand it correctly, kind of like the extra bags of seed from the Nursery).
Humus is also calculated on the planted field yield, and since the humus doesn't 'know' anything about the extra yield that Benny will be giving you, it is not included in the calculation.
It's not exactly 'math logic' - it is the order and manner in which the game calculates it. The coding for all of it must be nightmarish, we should be grateful these modifiers work as well as they do, not consider ourselves 'cheated' when we don't get more and more and MORE!

They only leave each day's poll open for 24 hours; after that you can't answer the question.
You still have a chance at a prize, though. According to the original announcement, "Players don’t have to participate in all the rounds. But of course the more they participate, the better the chances to earn more points and consequently better rewards."

hi friends.hoping u all r fine.
can anyone help me to find the 6th question.
did they publish the 6th question?
have they published any question after the 5th question.
5th question -- How do you achieve "The Chicken or the Egg"

Hey joander,
Staff doesn't work during weekends, so most probably the 5th question was the last one from the first round. The second round will start tomorrow, may be questions, may be something different!

In math, both options are correct. It just depends on the situation how something should be calculated.
I'm sorry but you are wrong.
It does NOT depend on the situation in Maths, there are clear rules that have to be followed.

That's not what I was talking about. I was talking about the calculation of percentages and how there are different situations involving percentages, requiring different calculations. So no, I'm not wrong, math DOES depend on situations (A LOT even). I'm not talking about the order of operations here. (I'm well aware of those, thank you.)
The real art of math is translating a question or situation into the appropriate math terms. If you manage to do that right, the calculations are easy enough. But you do need all the info, which - again - we do not get in the game.
In the case of this question we applied all modifications to the base yield, but when we're calculating something involving bank accounts and interest rates the base value doesn't matter much. Both involving percentages, but different situations.
A percentage can have different meanings, and it's not always made clear what is meant. "60% of people said this, 12% does that." Does this mean 12% of the 60% that said 'this'? Or of the remaining 40% or maybe of the entire population? Math doesn't have rules on how to interpret these percentages. The context should tell you what they mean ("60% of people said this, 12% of these also do that").
When we're talking about chances and statistics, you can do a lot of different things with the same set of numbers, getting completely different outcomes because the question or situation is just a bit different. Are the events independent? Do you want cumulative probabilities? It matters a lot.
It all depends on the situation and the questions asked.

Latten posted it was 300+(60%+10%)=510. It involves brackets. So you first do 60%+10%=70%. Then 300+70%=510. Make sense? Still following the rules... This situation is CORRECT.
IF! it would have been first 60% of the 300 and then 10% of that, it would have been 300+60%+10%=528. Which is NOT correct because there are brackets and it is both derived from 300 and not the one from 300 and the second from the result of that. So therefore this situation is INCORRECT.
Both are mathematically correct, BUT! not both situations are applicable to this game. Only the 1st situation is applicable to the game.
The discussion about whether that is like-able or not is a different one, but mathematically there is no incorrect calculation

hi friends. hoping u all r fine.
hey, has ggs stopped that long term event.
did they publish the 6th question or have the done any other things other than questions.

I think it is not necessarily every day of every week
It may be a different assignment this week and I think we will get it on 1 day only I am not certain though. So we can only just wait for it ^^ [727366]

So far they've announced all the forum event questions in the Official Announcements, so my advice is to watch there.

I don't think anybody ever specifically said it was going to be 4 consecutive weeks, so I guess it is based on the timing judgment of GG when they release the next rounds.
After all, if Rita spent a whole month on the farm who would be left at the paper to right all those interesting articles about us? Plus she is currently the Queen of the Fairy Tale Festival (again) so her duties may be keeping her elsewhere. The farmhands are taking this time of her absence to clean up the messes she made while attempting to work on the farm during this past week. They are hoping the farm is still making enough money to pay their wages while she gets in the way trying to win her bet with Lester. She did learn something on her first day though... that high heels and a tight skirt aren't good work attire for cleaning up pigsties and cowsheds; they still haven't found that heel she broke off, maybe the goats ate it.:D
