Visibility into sold medical supplies chance to "cure"

[deadpirate]

Potential spoilers below!

I admit this is a minor nitpick, so maybe I should apologize in advance 

Selling medical supplies during the Crimson Pox initial infection at some worlds states that 10 medical supplies creates a chance to cure the outbreak, and that selling more creates a greater chance of curing.

This got me thinking:

• Is it better to sell 10 at at time, or all 50 at once?
  
• If I only have 9 left, is it best to just save the supplies? (if the goal is curing the disease and adding to the 100 point "cure score"... there IS a rep and cash bonus, of course)
• Do advanced supplies have a greater impact?

As an extreme example, if selling 10 gives you a 10% chance, and selling 50 gives you a 15% chance, selling 10 5 times is a better option.

If we don't want to get that crazy with the game notes popup, can you share the math here?

We looked at a lot of complicated math for this and decided to go simple.

Base % + (Units/2)%

Base = Basic Medicines 10%, Advanced 15%, Kloxian 20%

Max = 75% at any given sale, so above 130 Basic Medicines in one sale, you are not gaining more %

It is a large scale problem, the pox, so lots of basic medicines are often the most effective and cheapest way to ensure a cured zone.

Oooh, I'll need to add this to the wiki.
