← What the Game Is Counting · Lesson 1 of 3

The leftover hit

About it

A monster with 100 health points that loses 15 per hit does not fall after 6.67 hits. After six hits it has 10 left, and that still needs a seventh. Games count up to the next whole number.

Children who play meet division with a remainder every day: the answer is the quotient plus one whenever anything is left over.

One question

A shield has 50 points and each hit takes 12. How many hits does it take to break?
