MATH GLITCH EXPLAINED in DETAIL This controversy happens every time a bonus fame day overlaps a 100% fame period. In short, if you were online you got the full amount. It's just some glitch between the 2 screens. The first screen is the one that loads your fame into your fame bank (or whatever it's called). The second screen is just a summary. For the following, look at the pics below. I took them of the most recent overlap.

I ran exactly 110 laps at Porsche short. I get between 535 and 540 base fame/lap depending on how bored or tired I am. So my math needs to fall in-between those numbers to know I am on the right.

I'll use 100 as my base number. For the following equation you MUST use your percentage button for it to work;

100 + 100% + 100% + 20% = 480 OR to put it another way without the % button;

100 x 2 x 2 x ((100 X .2)+100) = 480 OR the above formula simplified;

100 x 2 x 2 x 1.2 = 480

If you ADD 20% to something, you simply press +, 20, %. If you want to do it as multiplication, you must multiply the number by 20%, then add the base number to that answer. If you don't, all you get is what 20% of the base number is. 20% of 100 is 20. So then it is only part of the equation, whereas using you % button does both steps at once.

So first off, what's my base fame?? 284,448 / 4.8  = 59,260

What is my fame/lap?? 284,448 / 4.8 / 110 = 538.7273 (72 repeats indefinitely)

NOTE: 4.8 is the 480 from above with the 100 pulled out. 110 is my laps run.

Since 538 is certainly normal for me, I know I did it right. I certainly got 100%, 2X fame (Agent) and 20% fame all in one race.

So then how does the game ALSO get to 260,744?? Just have to try equations to find out. We can be assured that both the 100% & 2X amount were applied. That gets me to 237,040. But how did it apply the 20% to get to 260,744??

My first guess was the right one. FM took 20% of my base fame amount and added it into the total twice, once for each 100%. Here is what they did;

59,260 x 2 x 2 + (2 x (59,260 x 0.2)) = 260,744 EXACTLY

Using F for the variable of fame amount the equation is;

F x 2 x 2 + (2 x (F x 0.2))

OR... 4F+(2(0.2F))

So there you go. Insert your base fame number for F.
 * Pic 1 formula is; 4.8F = what you actually got
 * pic 2 Formula is; 4F+(2(0.2F)) = what is displayed
