Mathematical Quadratics and Algebraic Configurations is truly a unique, one of a kind VHS.

Overview

The player can reduce boredom by -5 for each line of dialog when in the vicinity of a television playing the VHS.

The VHS can be used with an appropriate television to play the dialogue of a plumber and the female house owner. To nobody's surprise, the show takes an erotic twist. Professor Joan Grimsdottir's lecture is taped over by this.

Woman:

Ooh!

Effective chance calculations are based off of default 'apocalypse' loot settings, with no luck modifier, and average zombie density. The higher the density of zombies in an area, the higher the effective chance of an item spawning. Chance is also influenced by the lucky and unlucky traits. Duplicate entries do exist, but have been removed for clarity.
