Question about brain capacity

i might be being really dumb, but i just can't figure out the brain capacity time penalty percentage.

The info page says: "You'll learn 5% slower for every extra skill you've learned past your maximum Brain Capacity!"

My current brain capacity is 96+1 / 52, with a time penalty of 799% !!! Is that penalty right? By my calculations, I am learning 45 skills beyond my maximum capacity, and if that is supposedly 5% penalty per extra skill, shouldn't my penalty be 225% ?

If i'm dumb, i'm dumb... just tell me ;) It's just things seem to be taking an awful long time to learn right now.

  • The penalty is compounded, not simply added on.

    Credulous Ralph's explanation might help: http://www.glitch.com/forum/general/20650/216560/ :)

  • The penalty doesn't add, it multiplies.  

    So you can't just add 5% per skill over 52.  It compounds, and each skill over the limit multiplies the previous limit by 1.05%
