Reply #4: The "Mathematician" Could Use a Little Help With Some Concepts [View All]

[GiovanniC]

If I send an email to 30 people... and they each send it to 10 people... that's 300 people!

And then if THEY send it to 10 people each, that's 3000 PEOPLE!

And soon you get to 3 million people! And then 30 million people!

And then -- YOU GUESSED IT! -- 300 MILLION PEOPLE!

If each of those 300 million send it to 10 people, 3 billion people will have read this email message. And then, if each of those people sends it to 10 people, then 30 BILLION PEOPLE! will have read this email. That's every man, woman, and child living on this planet now and every man, woman, and child who EVER lived on this planet, with some room to spare.

And imagine what would happen if THEY all forwarded that email to ten friends.
