486 approximately. That took ages! I'll check my answer. This is with the assumption of what you told me was right.

Wow, this is still going on. Spi, things would be much easier if you tried Minecraft or if Powlmao provided you with screenshots or a screencast.

would but not on a computer

I have to do it by hand. I will check it. I drew all the blocks out.

Fark and you did the timing?

Sorry. I got 343. My bad. Yes. This is approximated. So it is close.

No. I did it by hand. I couldn't be bothered deriving the formula.

Gawsh you're a tank.

Note: Is this a class competition or something?

Nope. He wanted us to try methods and was experiment. It really was to make sure we did some maths work.

I used two methods.

I figured by hand the first couple hours and used a series formula to get to it ( the answer I told you was for much longer )

The second I went wild. I got two. Series formulas ( time to plant and grow) and solved them together.

I got fairly similar answers.

 

[SpiralFlex]

Okay cool. Now how long did that take?

 

[powlmao]

Between the first and last post (yours) of this thread it totalts to 2hours 4 minutes. lol.

It took my a fair bit to try to create a formula for the question to.
