So am I really, but I was assuming that each copier can instantly start making copies of itselfI think that there's a more complex formula that would give you a better estimate. x(t) = ae^(kt). or so wikipedia would have it.
edit: hmm perhaps a more conservative 8.3742499531133519e+145 or maybe that's bigger. I'm not sure.

like bacteriahmm perhaps there is an anti photocopier agent that would kill 99% of photocopiers dead. So as to keep them down to manageable levels.

Yeah but each copy can only make so many copies so that formula is slightly wrongas say a copier can make 10 copies then it dies, then the number of copies will be reduced a bit

But what if the small errors in the copies make them immune to the anti-photocopier agent!And if the copiers were part of a diverse set of office machines that are red in plug and claw!
