Brain Basher Extra: The Lily Pad and Growing Tree, Eugene Got It!

Thanks To Ed, Wade, Gino, Dion, Gertjie, "Crates N Things" and Bridget who took the time to explain to Eugene off air that he was going about it wrong. Eugene was about linear growth whereas the Brain Basher is about exponential growth!

Ed went as far as explaining it below:
If the tree is 512m

Yr 1 = 1m
Yr 2 = 2m
Yr 3 = 4m
Yr 4 = 8m
Yr 5 = 16m
Yr 6 = 32m
Yr 7 = 64m
Yr 8 = 128m
Yr 9 = 256m
Yr 10 = 512m
