it is (4+3) * 2^149 / (4+3)*2^149-3

btw, that's a number like 3*10^45

i'm getting 7*(2^150) / 7*(2^150)-3 which is like
10^46/ 10^46
For those who aren't familiar with the notation it is power and toughness=1 with 46 zeros after it. % and he almost killed me but i had 10^50 life thanks to crazy snow white deck-recursion-life-gain-timewalking, thankfully i was able to deck him the following turn before his team of mathematicians could determine the correct amount to pump the chameleon by on the next turn. and everything after the % sign is false except for this sentence.



(edited to removed hole in space time continuum caused by last sentence in above paragraph)

9990733848941720000000000000000000000000000000.00/ 9990733848941720000000000000000000000000000000.00
this is what excel gave me after 150 activations. I think that the significant digits didn't make it though, because when done you should always be 3 less in toughness.

I think you guys are thinking too hard about it. find a graphing calculater and hit 7x2= then times that by ANS and push enter a hundred and fifty times. if you find a rythem to it and ounly count outloud by fives you could figure it out in 3 to 5 min. That is what I would do cuz it is a tricky problem and that is the only way I can think to get it right for sure is to literally double the seven power a hundred and fifty times. I doubt the toughness would ever matter... altho pretty sure a million is an easy number that will work as good as any

zoom and flippi you are for sure wrong btw, in what you have posted the order of operations would take 2^150 and do that first, but you need to start at 7 and double that 150 times. I just cant fathom the equation for this and I'm usually really good at this easy kind of math. its easy just remember the order of operations, parenthases, exponents multiplication division addition subtraction. or "please excuse my dear aunt sally" haha

To double a number, you multiply by 2. To double a number twice you multiply by 2 twice, which is same as multiplying by 4=2^2. To double 3 times multiply by 2 three times, or by 2^3. To double n times, multiply by 2^n.
And for the dude who is pressing enter on the calculator 150 times...you should check out the key labeled x^y. (unless you were joking, and in that case...good one)

if you're going to double 7 150 times just figure 7 x 2 to the 150th power.

Jesus, to get that much mana you would need a lot of vesuvan shapeshifters copying a lot of gemhide slivers to tap for a lot of manas. Even if you had 8 total tapping for 8 each thats only 64 manas....not even close to enough.

Sigh, that doesn't work. It just gets the activated ability again, but you can only play one of the abilities.

You can't pump the Warhammer, the equipped creature gets +3/+0.
At best, you die to the inifinite mana you created and only used 450 equipping a warhammer 150 times. Razz
