you plant them all.

Basically when the thing has fully grown, it resets and you have 2 new ones growing. And that cycle contiunes

Let me get this straight.

You are going to plant a cactus. You can grow one block in 3 minutes. Hence three blocks in 9 minutes. Then you have ONE cactus tree. Your character gathers the tree in 2 seconds. You now replant it in 3 seconds?

Oh that is minecraft

This is more easy

Basically when the thing has fully grown (3 in height), it resets to one and you have 2 new ones growing. And that cycle contiunes

What resets to one?

 

[RealiseNothing]

Can you confirm Spiral?

He is tank.

Your calculations look good/

I got the approximation of 2910 by only replanting the 3 original cactuses as I worked it out before you said you replant them all. The answer should be alot higher than 2910.

What resets to one?

It's 6 minutes to grow since the original cactus counts as 1 out of the 3

That is pretty much right but not quite.

ignore reset

i meant when it reaches 3 blocks high each block is seperate into new cactus which grows

 

[Gigacube]

Wow, this is getting confusing. Hasn't anyone else on the interwebz ever calculated it?

WHAT?! How is that physically possible?

I would use the second derivative to the maximum amount of cacti.

It really isn't that complex to understand if you play minecraft

IT IS A VIDEO GAME!!!!!! PHYSICS NOT MAKE SENSE!

Except with gravel and sand

I don't even know what minecraft is. I am assuming some Lego game.

 

[powlmao]

Except with gravel and sand

Hahhaa yes.

So you play.

Do you get what i am saying?

You could say that. Not really lego more a sandbox block game

 

[TheReapzor]

Yea I know what you mean but to calculate it you would have to start from the original 3, then work out how it takes to get to 9, then 27 etc., I can't see a way of doing it quickly

I am still confused. Someone who plays Minecraft tell me how it works.

Series and Sequences.

I do play Minecraft. Well I did. I never really planted anything. I just built stuff.

 

[SpiralFlex]

All I need is a simple explanation. No gaming jargon.

Basically thing of a cubed tree which grows one block every 3 minutes.

3 is the max height. When any cube treereaches this, it splits into 3 seperate cubes and forms new cube trees (each would split into 3 different ones because of its max height being 3).

A bit clearer. Then how do you collect it?

 

[powlmao]

For this example say it auto collects

 

[RealiseNothing]

Answer is 3 to the power of 317

Anyone got a calculator which goes that big lol

You have 3 blocks. It takes 6 minutes to grow 2 blocks, making a tower of 3. It takes 3 seconds to plant each block, and 2 seconds to harvest each block. Assuming you harvest each block as soon as it is finished growing and replant each block after harvesting, how many would you have after 48 hours?
