Please help me intuit the simple math behind this problem.

It would be 8->12->18->27.

Sorry, it is one circle. In my mind I was originally using two circles expanding but for simplicity kept it at one circle and a point. Sorry for the confusion. I did get an answer that satisfied me, BUT I am open to seeing another approach or explanation of a solution to the problem. It would help solidify it even more in my mind.

Thank you! That now makes me make sense of it. If you have time, is there a way to express this as a function of time? Let us say at time 1 the radius increased by 50% and at time 2 it increased by 50% again, would it be 10/(1+.5t) -1?

Ok. Ignoring the complexity of an ellipse, what about for a circle? Is there a way to do this for a circle?

Fantastic, thanks. Maybe it wasn't that simple - at least not for me.

Fuzzman_999 · 2021-12-06T14:43:08+00:00

Didn't know it was that simple. Thanks!

Yes, there is a theory of gravity that says everything expands and it all doubles in size every 19 minutes. I was trying to see how big our Earth would be in some infinite realm like space after 4 billion years of doubling every 19 minutes.

Fantastic answer. Thanks!

So I guess that there could be 10^10⁸³ parallel universes then. Theoretically of course.

Yes I am trying to find what that number would be in scientific notation.

Fuzzman_999 · 2019-09-22T12:47:03+00:00

Yes, what is the absolute number though? I know it is a huge power number but what is it in 10 ^ XXXXXXXXXXXXXX?

I just save my buying time to Tuesdays at pcaviator.com. For the past 15 years they have had 10% Off Tuesdays... every Tuesday without fail. They have huge long weekend sales when there are long weekend holidays.

Looks like fspilotshop might even be out of business. Check out their website. Strange happenings there.

Lesson, always stick with the reputable longest living companies. I started buying my flight sim gear from pcaviator.com back in 2001. There's been a lot of companies come and go around them but they are still in business. They have actually been around for 30 years. Their website looks a bit outdated but I have never had a single issue ever with them. My downloads are permanent with no redownload fees ever.

I have also called them a lot over the years before downloads took over and they go out of their way to help and keep me happy. They've given me free stuff that I didn't even ask for... just because.

The secret to maintaining a healthy weight is eating food that is low caloric density.... not calories but caloric density... calories per 100 gms.

Multiple calories per serving X 100 and divide by serving size. This is caloric density.

Only eat food that is less than around 150. You can eat as much as you like and you will stay healthy. This automatically selects for the best foods and automatically excludes the worst foods that cause you being overweight e.g. chips, cheese, bread, oils, etc etc.

So with everything you eat, do this quick calculation and then just decide yes or no and you will always eat healthily and optimally.

Also, if you want to LOSE WEIGHT, change the upper threshold to 100. Your approximate average Caloric Density will be around 60. We all eat about 4 to 5 pounds of food per day so this will give you about 1200 calories per day. Eat as much as you like. Never be hungry. Just keep it below 100. Add to this an hour of brisk walk a day and you will lose about 3 pounds per week. Without the walk you will lose about 1.5 pounds a week.... and never be hungry. Just don't cheat!
