I am no longer the King of 0C6.
I picked up a Pear Egg on level 37. After 79 Coefficient 5 items, 147656

and 7 years of playing this game, I have finally found my first Coefficient 6 item.
I'm glad to put this to rest. I shouldn't have even had this chance - I lost my second life on level 35, and was about to quit. I kept on (the whole game was miserable, except for the Pear Egg) and nearly missed picking it up two levels later. In fact, I barely even had it appear - I was set to clear the level before the point item was set to spawn.
It didn't even register for a good 5 seconds that I should be rushing towards it, desperately hoping it didn't disappear before I could pick it up.
