For those of you that thought 35+7=42, you can rest easy.
For those of you that thought 535+7=542, you can similarly keep your mind at easy.
However, for those of you that thought 65,535 = 7 = 65,542, you need to wake up to the harsh reality that is Max Money...at least if you are playing Skylanders and doing this math.

I brought in my cash cow Pop Thorn to clean out Auric's Inventory last night. He was siting at a SWAP Force MAX of 65,535. I decided before buying to see what would happen if I went for another 7 via Persephone's emerald upstairs (the cabinet gems respawn any time you enter/exit the area). So, I ASSUMED the SWAP Force Max of 65,535 translated over to Trap Team...after all, Pop Thorn clearly had it when he started to play. However, after picking up the gem, I learned that 65,535+7=65,000. Interesting math for sure. I literally just lost 535 (and technically 542) in an instant! That doesn't sound like much, BUT it would have bought out all of Auric's Ch 2 Inventory.
Anyway, to keep others from having this happen...I cut it out of the video and made it a stand alone installment.
I plan to remax Pop Thorn and immediately buy something to see if that results in 65,535-100=65,435 OR if they go new school and make it 65,535-100=64,900.
Don't say you weren't warned if this happens to you!
