In planning out my front line for the next raid, I'm trying to figure out which cards will be the most efficient. So the math for the entire line in calculating power is (TOTAL + 5) / 2  Then you get total attack and divide by that number to get total efficiency, which is kind of a useless number because you're trying to pick out individual cards. So, to get the efficiency of one out of the 5 frontline cards, you split up the (pwr + 5) into 5 parts. So to me, the power you would use is (PWR + 1) / 2  And then divide your card's max atk to get the efficiency of that card. But everytime someone posts about the raid efficiency for a single card, they say to use ATK / (PWR + 1)  What happened to the / 2 ???

To make matters worae, the very useful complex card comparison at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?key=0ApgS5l9iJiwzdDYtckJ4bmQzRV94YVZ5Nlg3TFg0clE has columns for Raid efficiency, etc.but the RB Att Eff has numbers in the thousands, which is not even close to what you'd get by doing the ATK / (PWR + 1) formula. Whare are those numbers coming from?

Can someone who is actually good at math, unlike myself, just give me a simple formula that is 100% correct for comparing the raid efficiency of 2 particular cards. According to that spreadsheet, little power 10 Bonnie is one of the most efficient forest cards for a raid line you can get, and I just can't wrap my head around why.
