Confused about the math?

I'm confused a bit by the numbers displayed for your greasemonkey script "FFS User Statistic".

I've got screen shots of several players, including myself, and I don't quite get the math for Assets Value or Pet Value.

My calculations for myself:

Current Value: $3,051,153,458

Cash: $66,418,856
Total Value of Pets: $13,799,442,215

So how does Assets Value come out to $11,014,707,613?

Shouldn't it be the total value of my pets + cash, which would be $13,799,442,215 + $66,418,856 = $13,865,861,071

The only thing I can come up with is Pet Value is based on what was paid total for me, including resets, and that Assets Value is based on the current total value of pets - taxes + cash on hand, or something like that.

If you could explain this, the script might be a bit more useful. A script that totalled the current value of pets, the current value of all pets if sold including profit, and corresponding ratios would be really useful.

Lastly, what factors are you using to determine Hot Pet vs Profit Pet vs Inactive Pet?

Thanks regardless, still an interesting script ;)

Hello,

Thank you very much for using my script.

I've checked your case and there are my explain:
1. About Pet Values: This is the summary of your current pet's value. Not included your current value.
Ex:
3,051,153,458
2,851,153,458
2,051,153,458
855,669,297
776,521,411
776,519,872
362,887,311
169,289,607
53,940,885
--------------
Pet Value = 10,948,288,757

2. About Assets: This is the current Pet Value plus your current cash
Ex:
10,948,288,757
79,695,658
---------------
Assets = 11,027,984,415

3. Lastly, about the ranking:
1. Hot: % Invested is over 80%
2. Profit: % Invested is over 60%
3. Active: % Invested <= 60% and has pet
4. InActive: has no Pet at that moment.
