I have a simple question (simple for you who know math). How

I think that's the last generation, and off by one, so, 3^9 + 3^8 + ... + 3^0.

So.. how do I calculate this? I know, the question is probably stupid, but I just want to know how I'd check this on my calculator.

>>8179110
Yes, it's funny.

Damn, the middle east doing great with their scientific progress. Just one year after the caliphate of europe is founded and they are already literally beating everyone else in science.

The toughest question is why the caliphate of north america is not doing as well as their european counterparts?

They don't nominate people out of the blue. They ask working scientists and universities. And guess who has most influence among these? Circlejerking American universities.

I just wanted to say "Hi!" to cleo.

Man I wish there existed some notation for summing numbers and that calculators for such nation could be easily accessed online.

It depends. For example in a family as inbred as yours, the exact value would be exponentially smaller than what you would expect.

That's true of every family tree. If you had no repeats in your family tree you'd only have to go back like 33 generations to reach 10 billion.
