>Each mute time is 2^n in seconds where n is the number of times you have transgressed. So, your mute time doubles each time you fuck up.

Doubles? Wouldn't double be 2n? 2n and 2^n are NUT the same thing.. rite?
As a physicist I should know this but I dont

No it's exponential

it means your current mute time is doubled every fuckup, you doofus
>first time? 2 secs
>second? 4s
>third? 8s
>fourth? 16s
>etc.
so yes, it does double everytime

ur right, 2^n is exponential increase

>>81803418
that would be 2n

Based ESL retard.

The 2 in 2^n means double. The difference between 2^n and 2^(n-1) is a multiplication by 2. It's exponential because you double EACH time, whereas 2n is just double the current total number of times.
