Ever wanted to know how to break down what each Voltorb Flip row number could mean? Well, consult this handy guide!
Just FYI, the columns “A/B/C/D/E” simply represent the numbers that could exist anywhere in the list, it doesn’t represent the ACTUAL pattern for that row. For example, in the 08/[vf n=V w=18]1 row (8 points, 1 [vf n=V w=18]) with [vf n=A w=18]/[vf n=A w=18]/[vf n=C w=18]/[vf n=C w=18]/[vf n=0 w=18]… this means it could be something like [vf n=A w=18]/[vf n=0 w=18]/[vf n=C w=18]/[vf n=C w=18]/[vf n=A w=18] or [vf n=0 w=18]/[vf n=C w=18]/[vf n=A w=18]/[vf n=A w=18]/[vf n=C w=18] or [vf n=C w=18]/[vf n=A w=18]/[vf n=0 w=18]/[vf n=C w=18]/[vf n=A w=18] or [vf n=A w=18]/[vf n=C w=18]/[vf n=A w=18]/[vf n=0 w=18]/[vf n=C w=18] or… well, you get the idea. Basically, somewhere in that 8 point, 1 [vf n=V w=18] row, you can expect two [vf n=A w=18]s, two [vf n=C w=18]s and one [vf n=0 w=18].

Hopefully this helps!
Oh wait… so, why make this when there already is a Voltorb Flip solver? Well, first off the solver doesn’t show you what your possible cards are given a particular input, it simply just has you punching in cards one-by-one based on probabilities. This chart instead shows you what’s possible given a particular point/Voltorb combination. Plus maybe someone doesn’t want it solved for them? I think this chart makes for a fair compromise for players who still want to be able to solve it themselves and instead need just a little hint in the right direction. It’s about hand UPs, not hand OUTs here at PA!
