hi im virgin. ok now that's out of the way...


Background

in a game called dungeon fighter online, i am playing my cute little girl elementalist (she is 12 years old, but i am not p3d0).

Scenario

i currently have 4 equips: top, bottom, helm, and gloves... all of which have the following stat:

'every attack has a 5% chance of casting super armor on yourself'


this effect is not additive (e.g. i do not have 20% chance of casting super armor on myself)

as a matter of fact... every item functions AS ITS OWN.


let us take for example...

i attacked, and 2 of my equips proc'd the super armor effect. that is essentially the same effect as only one of my equips proc'ing the super armor effect.

note: the 'super armor' buff allows my little cutie elementalist to not be interrupted by hostile attacks in middle of casting my spells, and therefore, it does not stack numerically. I either have 'super armor' or i don't.



so here is the following question:

with 4 equipped items with the stat 'every attack has a 5% chance of casting super armor on yourself', what is my ACTUAL chance of casting super armor on myself for each individual attack?

let me clarify. the effects overlap. if i get a proc on first attack (t = 0) and then a proc on second attack (t = 0.2), and then i get NO procs, then I will have super armor for 5.2 seconds.

similarly, if i get a proc on first attack (t = 0), and i get NO procs until 6 seconds, then i have super armor for first 5 seconds, and i DON'T have super armor from 5s - 6s.

similary, if i have super armor for the initial 11 seconds, and then i get a proc at 11.2 seconds, then I will have super armor for 16.2 seconds, which is NOT 16 seconds exactly.

if the domain is continuous, then the probability is 0. if it's not continuous, you have to provide the domain. eg: can i attack at t = 11.2937819589458204? or is it only at 0.1s increments?

but, the question clearly states that a hammer and a nail togeher cost $1.10

the hammer is $1 more than the nail.

1.05 =/= 1.10

not continuous. its discrete at 0.2s increments becuz 5 attacks / second

i can attack 5 times per second.
the actual effect of each item is: 'every attack has a 5% chance of casting super armor on yourself for 5 seconds'

what are the chances of me sustaining super armor for 16 seconds exactly?
