Rock or Mandarin Duck: what the numbers say

Rock is an Epic brilliance animal and Mandarin Duck a Rare one, but Rock runs 2-hour activities and Mandarin Duck 1-hour ones. Rock does 4 activities before a 24-hour sleep, Mandarin Duck 8 before a 12-hour one. Finishing an activity early costs 1,000 coins with Rock and 600 with Mandarin Duck. Per 30 minutes of activity at level 7, Rock is ahead on both brilliance (27.5 against 25) and heart gems (150 against 112.5). Mandarin Duck goes on to level 10, where it reaches 240 heart gems and 54 brilliance per activity, a level Rock cannot reach. Collected on time and counting the sleep, a level 7 Rock makes about 330 brilliance and 1,800 heart gems a day, against 518 and 2,304 for a level 10 Mandarin Duck, so per day Mandarin Duck comes out ahead on both. That pace means collecting Mandarin Duck every hour until it falls asleep. Rock is bought for 999 coins, while Mandarin Duck hatches from the Blue Egg.
