However, your workers are very industrious with investing, and always manage to double the number of tribal offerings that you had at the beginning of the year after paying the black hole.
For example, if you started with 4 offerings: (B = beginning of year before feeding the black hole, A = after you fed the black hole, E = end of year after your tribal offerings have doubled)
--B-A-E 1|4 3 6 2|6 4 8 3|8 4 8 4|8 0 0 5|0Since there wasn't enough to pay 16 tribal offerings, the island lasted 5 years.
How would you find the number of turns this island would last if you started with x tribal offerings?
