They must have been playing cookie clicker to come up with a fine that big
Initially, the fine wasn’t that large. However, the exponential increase kicks hard.
The court imposed a fine of 100 thousand rubles ($1,025) per day, with the total fine doubling every week.
It’s an interesting formula. Exponential and logarithmic I think?
I’m not a super great at math terms person
14k first week 42k the second 98k the third 210k 434k 882k 1778k…
EDIT: I’m stupid and did it with the fine squaring every week instead of doubling and I’m too lazy to recalculate so ignore this
w1 = (100’000 x 7)2
w2 = (100’000 x 7 + w1)2
wn = (100’000 x 7 + wn-1)2
It looks like it’s impossible to find a true function for wn that depens only on n.
But we can approximate it with:
w_n = C^(2^n)where C is the money owed at the end of the first week.
So the approximate formula for how much is owned at the end of the nth week is.
w_n = (4.9 * 10^11)^(2^(n-1))where n is the number of weeks since the fine was issued.
In truth wn will be larger than said number but it’s a decent lower bounds for approximation and it should be accurate to within around a couple percent.
i did this calculation in rubles but you can just replace 100’000 by 1000 if you wish USD.
They did the math.
Shouldn’t it be
w_n = 7 c + 2 w_{n-1}Twice the fine from last week plus c=100000 rubles for each of the seven dow. According to Wolfram alpha this refines to
w(n) = 7 c · (2^n - 1)Anyways, it’s a funny formula.
you’re completely right just see the edit I made at the top of my comment
Ah. I first didn’t really understand the edit, but now I get it.
Russia has been a joke to the rest of the world for a long time now, it’s good that Russia is finally able to laugh at themselves.
So, tomorrow it will we $40 decillion?
Even their website can’t handle that many zeros!
And apparently they don’t know how CSS works.
They can add it to the pile along with IPV6.
aw shit, the 0 key got stuck!
maybe they just want to remind the west to its weird feudalisms TTIP secret arbritation councils the public could’nt even notice any weirdocrappydictatorlike “decissions”.
at least done well for me, russia +1 in showing with just one public note how the west lies and abuses all the time. its not about russia, its about the wests foulness, any country could have pointed that out, but russia maybe just does not fear any attacks by those secret “arbritation councils”.
Good lord trying to read this was hard. Also downvoted, Jesus Christ - clean up your writing.
