In the attached image, the total probability of GP type is
40% + 13% + 10% + 7% + 20% + 6% = 96%

The screen shot can be reproduced by loading the attached sav file then open the city screen of Madrid (your capital).

it is probable that the numbers are truncatured
so it ma be 40.7 13.6 10.7 7.8 20.6 6.6

Yes - I think its probably rounding error. Maybe displaying to 1 decimal place might be a good idea.

I wouldn't be surprised if a similar thing happened in other parts of the game like population percentages in cities etc. While it might not have much impact on gameplay, it's worth fixing because it looks a bit dodgy.

Well, you should have expected this. The game has great artists, but not great mathematicians.

Do you think that mathematicians aren't scientists?

For me is always very strange to see that NEXT year will SURELY appear any GP.
It should be based on probability of appearance, i.e. standing +1 GPP could be +0.2% (and then descending) of probability (sry, I´m not the Great mathematician to count it to be balanced :mischief:). Making number of GP in average the same as now, depending on GPP, but borned randomly.
