I will paypal a dollar to the first person...

[humpurple kushiones]

to answer this math question and show your work...

Assuming theres an equal about of male and female mice and all of them bread, how many mice would each couple (male and female mice, stay with the same mate for life) need to have if they wanted to turn 2 mice (only mice) into 7 billion mice in only 60 generations (perfect generations, all mice live breed and die at the same time)? This is assuming every parent couple in every generation has the same amount of offspring. And the mice all last say... 100 years. The 7 billion mice at the end will include the latest generation of mice, their parents, and half of their grandparents.

So how many offspring would each couple need to have?

Edit: No i'm not in school (i graduated) , this is not homework, a question on a test, or anything i get paid for or must do. I'm asking this out of my own curiosity, yes i know i'm weird.

Lol anthony I was starting to think you had the answers to everything

[matr!]

Holy fuck. Just no. I'm not even going to try

 

[humpurple kushiones]

Racism

we are going to pretend all the mice are albino and theres no disease or murder at all just for the sake of the math problem.

Wouldn't you need to know the starting number of mice? And why is it mice not dogs or people? God damn I'm not even gonna try. Maybe I'll just ask my math teacher tomorrow lol

the starting number is two, a male and a female. and please do lol, although this question really isnt looking to good.

and go ahead and use dogs or people if that makes you feel better lol.

About 50.

 

[humpurple kushiones]

and how did you get that?

im pretty sure its not 50 though lol.

 

[BenJelinek]

I'm pretty sure he's kidding

 

[BenJelinek]

Dude hold on I'm good at math and I think I could figure it out but your saying that each mouse lives 100 years?

 

[humpurple kushiones]

yes, so im going to say they will have their offspring at about 50 years of age.

 

[BenJelinek]

I give up. The concept isnt that hard it's just the big numbers are raping me

 

[Zaηe]

Maybe if it wasnt worded intentionally to confuse you.

 

[Kroto]

i get confused just reading that so im not going to even bother answering it

 

[BenJelinek]

How many mice do each couple(100 years old each, 2 mice) need to have for 60 generations to get 7 billion mice

 

[Zaηe]

Go to hell.
