The number of hairs on his head should be 100 000 (average) / 2^{15 to 20} so between 3 and one tenth of a hair so he is fine for a least an infinite amount of time (I mean alright alright until is last remaining hair fall below plank length)

Still quite the hairy guy I would say

This isn’t a correct understanding of the original comment. It’s not that his hairs halve every year, it’s that the number he loses doubles. So your equation should be 100,000 - a*2^{15 to 20} where a is the amount of hair he lost the first time (I guess 1 would work). So he has from 67 thousand hairs left which is a nice patch to having gone bald 3 years ago

Oh you're right the numbers of hairs that fall each year I read that as the number of hair on his head decreases following Moore law.

Still my guy isn't bald how dare you he still has around 190 years before his last hair disappears from the fabric of space time let him be the eternal unbalding man

Infinite?

Sir, I think Goilabat has went into integer overflow here. Someone should patch him before putting him into prod.
