[TenTec] RE: 4th grade e-mail project

[Michael Tope]

FYI,

Sounds like these kids will be getting a math lesson in addition
to their geography lesson. If receipients of this message follow the
instructions, the kids will have their hands full sorting out the
emails. Twenty iterations of this message (assuming a multiply by
two each time with no duplications) would spawn over 1 million responses.
Fourty iterations would spawn 1 trillion responses (the tree branching
would slow long before this point was reached due to duplication).

And I though my mailbox was full. This should be a good lesson on
the virtues of birth control.

Hey TK......I received this today form Mary.  Sounds like fun for these 
kids.  I think you've got some classmates all over the country that might 
enjoy participating in the project!  What do you think!  Ed
