+== Overview ==
 In the Test of the Oyster Catcher, you are to make a necklace from 14 pearls of varying sizes. Pearls can be obtained by swimming into water, finding a set of bubbles (which represent oysters), and then solving a small puzzle which will "catch" the oyster. Once you have your pearls, you must set them in the correct order to make your necklace.

 You may remove pearls that are placed in the right slot, but this is probably not something you want to do.

-As you insert pearls into their correct positions, your Endurance attribute will rise. The exact level of increase is a bit sketchy, but roughly estimated, you get a point for every other pearl you insert. This isn't exact, though, and there probably is a better way to describe the increase.
+As you insert pearls into their correct positions, your Endurance attribute will rise. The formula for Endurance gain seems to be:
-* I got my first END point when I put the first correct pearl at the right place, and my second END point at the 5th correctly placed pearl. -''TheMazeEcho''
-* I got two END from my first pearl (Huge), my third point after getting 2 smalls correct, and my fourth after getting 2 more smalls and 2 mediums. -''Wrongskian''
+:Endurance gain = (3 + 7*(Huge + Large/2 + Medium/4) + Small)/4
-* I got 1 END from my first pearl (Medium). - ''Snicker_Bastet''
-* On completing the test and reviewing my numbers and other peoples numbers. The best I figure is the point system works as follows: Small = 2, Medium = 3, Large = 5, Huge = 13 Endurance = round(Total points / 7) The only case I found this not correct was a single medium placed in the correct location will give one endurance point. In all other cases that math will hold true. -''Mektos''
+The result is rounded down.
 Note that you will get a message in the main window saying when you get this endurance increase. This can be used as another indicator that you inserted a pearl in the correct slot.
