my question being -

What is the fastest a person can speed run education and roughly how long would it take given all the reductions plus job perks and books of carol for max CD?

with [2145430]

Assumptions:

  • All education time reduction
  • Unlimited Books of Carols
  • 10* job at a fitness center or hair salon
  • No downtime between educations
  • No drug use OR reasonable rehab habits.
  • Optimal consumption of Books of Carols.
    • By this I mean that every Book you eat will give all of its education reduction. Hypothetically, if you eat one while having 5 hours of education left, that extra hour is wasted. I will assume this magically doesn't happen.
  • Optimal use of JP
    • Same reason and example as Book of Carols.

 

Also, let's assume you don't start any education before obtaining everything discussed previously . This is unrealistic but it makes the math easier.

 

Time reductions, total of 40%: 

  • Merits: 20%
  • WSU:  10%
  • Principal: 10%

 

At time of writing, there are 359 weeks of total education. So after the reductions, that's 215.4 weeks left. 

 

Each Book of Carols will exchange 6 hours of education for 6 hours of booster cool down.

 

Each day at the 10* job will reduce education by 6 hours.

 

So everyday you progress 1 day of education by default. Then 1 more day from eating Books. Then 0.25 days (6 hours) from job points.

 

The sum total of all that is that you progress 2.25 days of education each day. 215.4 weeks is 1507.8 days. 1507.8/2.25 = 670.1 days, which is 1.8 years.
