What's the biggest overkill you've ever had?

631086 / 3200 = 197.2

I scored 197× the threshold here with a hearts flush, leading with a face card. Two bloodstones, multiple retriggers, and a photograph.

(I lost this run.)

Just got about 1000x the required score on a single hand. Not the highest stake but whatever

4.029e25÷1.032e22=15866

Nice. I think your calculation is wrong, though. e25 should be on the scale of 1000× larger than e22. I got an overkill of 3904 for your score. Still way higher than mine!

You know, I actually thought it looked off when I saw it too, but just posted what my calculator told me haha.

Ah yeah, that would do it. The "e" on your calculator is referring to the "e" constant ≈ 2.71828, but Balatro uses "e" the programmer way to mean 10^x. This is actually doing 4.029×e×25/1.032×e×22.
