Added a sentence after the explanation of the highest score possible for the Grange Display. This explains how to win first place with a minimum of 90 points, to make it easier for players to figure out the bare minimum criteria for first place.
|At the Spinning Wheel, the player can bet Star Tokens on whether the spinner will land on green or orange.

When the spinner falls below a certain speed, if it would cause the spinner to land on the losing colour, there is a chance for it to set its speed to a higher speed, proportional to the player's [[Luck#Luck_Buff|Luck]]. This chance is equal to <samp>Luck / 15</samp> if the player chose Green, or <samp>Luck / 20</samp> if the player chose Orange.<ref name="spinnerLuck"/> As the player cannot eat or drink in the festival (other than Gus's [[Survival Burger|Survival Burgers]], the player would need to use any Luck-improving consumables before entering the festival in order to maximize the chance of winning.

With no Luck modifiers, the Wheel is four times more likely to land on Green than Orange.<ref Name="initialVelocity"/> By taking advantage of this, players can quickly earn the star tokens required to purchase all items in the shop. For maximum expected profit while protecting against losses, the player should always bet 60% of their current stars on Green.<ref Name="OptimalBet"/>
With no Luck modifiers, the Wheel is ~3.3 times more likely to land on Green than Orange.<ref Name="initialVelocity"/> By taking advantage of this, players can quickly earn the star tokens required to purchase all items in the shop.

Assuming that nine items, each worth 8 points, are submitted and that the items represent at least six unique categories, the highest score obtainable is {{#expr: (14 + 8*9 + 9-2*0 + 5*6) }} (14 + 72 + 9 + 30). Getting the maximum score of 125 is only possible if one has access to [[Deluxe Fertilizer]]. Out of the eight categories that exist, six contain 8-point items: Animal Products, Artisan Goods, Fish, Foraging, Fruits, and Vegetables. 8 point Vegetable items are only obtainable with Deluxe Fertilizer. Without deluxe fertilizer to grow iridium quality crops, the next best vegetable item is the iridium-quality [[Fiddlehead Fern]], at 7 points. Because of this, the highest score obtainable without access to Deluxe Fertilizer is 124.

Assuming that nine items are submitted representing at least 6 categories, winning with a minimum of 90 points requires submitting eight 4-point items and one 5-point item (14 + (8 x 4 + 5) + 9 + 30 = 90).
Once the judging is complete, make sure to retrieve the items from the table, as they are '''not''' automatically returned. However, the items can be retrieved at the Lost and Found in the [[Mayor's Manor]] should the player forget to retrieve them before leaving the fair.

* The close-up window shown when playing the Spinning Wheel game shows the wheel in front of two tents, but outside the close-up window it's in the middle of Pelican Town square with no tents behind it.

* The Fortune Teller refers to the [[Dwarf]] as "she" even though the Dwarf's gender in the game data is "undefined" (<samp>Content\Data\NPCDispositions.xnb</samp>). That's due to the way the gender check in the code is written, with all non-males defaulting to "she" and no checks for "undefined" genders.

* When playing the fishing mini-game, pressing the button assigned to "use tool" the moment the fish is collected will result in the game glitching and it causes the player to be able to catch another fish. The pole is invisible, however, and the next fish caught is also invisible. There is also extra delay time after collecting the invisible fish. However, the game still gives points.
