I do wonder though. If you breed two colors with diamond you won't get a single color choice. So, if you breed an athletic with a diamond, the only possible results will be athletic, magic (both rare), or a the ultra rare diamond hybrids (crusader and mercury). Without having to contend with breedind a common dragon, I wonder how much odds are improved at getting a diamond hybrid. This has changed with the arrival of the Pink Diamond Hybrid. It's not clear if it's only changed on iOS or also Android. See discussion here: http://dragon-story.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:33291 Wow Hyper ch, that kind of blows my mind. I wonder if the inability to breed diamond hybrids is restricted to breeding with pink (cause pink has it's own weird rules), or if it's universal with all other colors. In any case, I'm using the android client, so I don't even have access to the pink (or gemstone) dragons yet. I also wonder if those rules vary between iOS and android. Too many variables to consider!

And KittehMaster, I thinkKhanivour's formula is derived from something close to this generic statistical formula:

(P)^n+(P)^(n+1)+(P)^(n+2)+... = p%

where P is your probability of getting heads in a coin flip, n is the number of coins you are going to toss (or breeding attempts, etc.), and p% is your final probaility percentage. It's been years since I've taken statistics, I have no doubt a detail or two about that generic formula is wrong.
