I don't get it. Although it may seems like it is an exponential process, when following this rule, the number of cans currently in the fridge is just the total number ever consumed. This process is limited by people soda consumption.

- GistNoesis 4y agoIf you start with k cans in the fridge, you take one there is now k-1 cans in the fridge, you add back two, according to the rule, there are now k+1 can in the fridge. You and your colleagues repeat this process n times, n being the number of total cans drank. At the end of the repeating n times there are k+n cans in the fridge, and n cans in the garbage bin.
- bitshiftfaced 4y agoIf you look at it that way, then the daily growth is only linear when the daily n is constant. When the daily n = number of cans to start with that day, then the daily growth is 2^n.
