The New Jersey Devils' magic number refers to the number of points needed for the team to secure a spot in the playoffs. It is a key indicator of how close the team is to clinching a postseason berth. The magic number is calculated by subtracting the current team's point total from a predetermined point total, which is typically the number of points earned by the 9th place team in the standings. For example, if the New Jersey Devils have 80 points and the 9th place team in the standings has 90 points, the Devils' magic number would be 11. This means that any combination of 11 points earned by the Devils themselves or lost by the 9th place team would result in the Devils clinching a playoff spot. The magic number decreases as the season goes on and teams earn more points or lose points, and it can fluctuate depending on the performance of other teams in the league.

Translator

Translators are inventory items that allow the user to speak with Gifted Riley Bee, Gifted Bucko Bee, and Stick Bug.

To use a translator, the player needs to talk to the NPC they want to use the translator on. The NPC will talk to the player in its language. It will then prompt the player the option to give the translator to the NPC or leave. Clicking on the option to give the NPC the translator will allow the player to talk and receive quests from the NPC.

Translators are single-use - once the player gives an NPC a translator, the translator will be taken away from their inventory, but the player will be able to speak with them forever. If the player accidentally uses a translator on an NPC, they can leave the game as the translator only gets taken away after the player finishes speaking to that NPC.

All three translators can be obtained from Science Bear. He rewards the player with a translator after completing the following quests: "Limits of Language", "Beesperanto", and "Epistemological Endeavor".

The magic number decreases as the season goes on and teams earn more points or lose points, and it can fluctuate depending on the performance of other teams in the league. The concept of magic number is commonly used in sports, particularly in hockey and baseball, to illustrate the remaining gap between teams to reach their playoff goals. It serves as a tool for fans and analysts to track a team's progress and assess their chances of making it to the postseason.

Trivia [ ]

• The player can acquire a total of three translators throughout the game so that they can speak to all three of the NPCs that require translators.
  • Without translators, it is impossible to take quests, receive rewards, talk or give presents to Gifted Bucko Bee, Stick Bug, and Gifted Riley Bee.
