Here's a simple breakdown of what would happen if 10 people shared something with 10 people each day, who then shared it with 10 more people daily. We'll walk through each day from Day 1 to Day 11.
Day 1: The Beginning
- 10 people start by sharing with 10 other people each.
- Total people reached on Day 1: 10 x 10 = 100 people.
Day 2: The First Wave
- The 100 people from Day 1 each share with 10 more people.
- Total people reached on Day 2: 100 x 10 = 1,000 people.
- Overall total (Day 1 + Day 2): 100 + 1,000 = 1,100 people.
Day 3: The Ripple Grows
- The 1,000 people from Day 2 each share with 10 more people.
- Total people reached on Day 3: 1,000 x 10 = 10,000 people.
- Overall total (Day 1 + Day 2 + Day 3): 1,100 + 10,000 = 11,100 people.
Day 4: Big Impact
- The 10,000 people from Day 3 each share with 10 more people.
- Total people reached on Day 4: 10,000 x 10 = 100,000 people.
- Overall total (Day 1 - Day 4): 11,100 + 100,000 = 111,100 people.
Day 5: Massive Reach
- The 100,000 people from Day 4 each share with 10 more people.
- Total people reached on Day 5: 100,000 x 10 = 1,000,000 people.
- Overall total (Day 1 - Day 5): 111,100 + 1,000,000 = 1,111,100 people.
Day 6: Going Viral
- The 1,000,000 people from Day 5 each share with 10 more people.
- Total people reached on Day 6: 1,000,000 x 10 = 10,000,000 people.
- Overall total (Day 1 - Day 6): 1,111,100 + 10,000,000 = 11,111,100 people.
Day 7: Massive Scale
- The 10,000,000 people from Day 6 each share with 10 more people.
- Total people reached on Day 7: 10,000,000 x 10 = 100,000,000 people.
- Overall total (Day 1 - Day 7): 11,111,100 + 100,000,000 = 111,111,100 people.
Day 8: A Phenomenon
- The 100,000,000 people from Day 7 each share with 10 more people.
- Total people reached on Day 8: 100,000,000 x 10 = 1,000,000,000 people.
- Overall total (Day 1 - Day 8): 111,111,100 + 1,000,000,000 = 1,111,111,100 people.
Day 9: Global Impact
- The 1,000,000,000 people from Day 8 each share with 10 more people.
- Total people reached on Day 9: 1,000,000,000 x 10 = 10,000,000,000 people.
- Overall total (Day 1 - Day 9): 1,111,111,100 + 10,000,000,000 = 11,111,111,100 people.
Day 10: Maximum Reach
- The 10,000,000,000 people from Day 9 each share with 10 more people.
- Total people reached on Day 10: 10,000,000,000 x 10 = 100,000,000,000 people.
- Overall total (Day 1 - Day 10): 11,111,111,100 + 100,000,000,000 = 111,111,111,100 people.
Day 11: Beyond Possibilities
- The 100,000,000,000 people from Day 10 would share with 10 more people.
- This number (1 trillion) is far beyond the world population, which illustrates how quickly something can spread. By Day 10, the message would have reached virtually everyone on Earth several times over.
Summary
- By Day 11, the message has the potential to reach more people than exist on Earth, demonstrating how rapidly information can spread through exponential growth.
