Slap Interval
Baldi has a certain "slap interval" when he chases the Player. The slap intervals differ between the games .
Baldi's shortest slap interval is four smacks every 3 seconds, and the intervals get shorter by 0.25 seconds for every notebook the Player collects (except the first, eighth and ninth notebooks). However, if Baldi is going faster than his minimum speed, he will cool down to his maximum slap interval, which is dependent on the number of notebooks collected or answers wrong in Classic/Birthday Bash. In versions 1.0 - 1.2.2, Baldi will not slow down after getting additional answers wrong.
Before obtaining the first notebook in one of the beginning classrooms, the Player needs to solve three math problems with the You Can Think Pad. During this time, Baldi gives instructions and reads out the questions. If all three questions are then answered correctly, Baldi will award the Player with a . To get the second notebook, the Player will have to answer three more math problems, but after solving the second problem, the third question is corrupted and impossible to solve. Numbers in Baldi's dialogue are censored with static noises.
Baldi getting angry when the Player answers a question incorrectly for the first time in Baldi's Basics Classic.
When the Player gets their first problem wrong in the You Can Think Pad, Baldi's face will become distorted, making him appear to be frowning intensely, and his eyebrows will furrow. He either says "I HEAR EVERY DOOR YOU OPEN" or "I GET ANGRIER FOR EVERY PROBLEM YOU GET WRONG". If the Player gets all 3 questions wrong on , he will instead display "I HEAR MATH THAT BAD". After the Player fails a question, Baldi disappears on the bottom left-hand corner of the You Can Think Pad for the rest of the notebooks. Once the Player exits the You Can Think Pad after getting their first problem wrong, Baldi begins to chase the Player through the school, signaling his movement and location by making a smacking sound by hitting a ruler on his hand.
Baldi puts 3 subject problems in every notebook the Player must answer correctly. If the Player gets an answer wrong, Baldi's slap intervals become shorter and shorter, thus making him move quicker and quicker. Every notebook (except the first one) will always end with an unsolvable problem, making Baldi's slap intervals shorter per notebook collected. It is worth to note that Baldi will stop moving while the Player is using the You Can Think Pad.
Once the Player has 6 notebooks, Baldi will be moving at the same speed as the Player, and the only way to outrun him is by running. However, once the Player collects the 7th notebook, Baldi moves so fast that he can catch them even if they are sprinting. The only way to get away from him then is by using a BSODA or getting pushed by or Gotta Sweep (note that some pushes of 1st Prize and Gotta Sweep can go directly into Baldi).
