OK, here's my question. And honestly, this was what I was thinking of doing if I actually make an entry for a farking change.
I assume a "Double Double Cheeseburger" would be OK, since that is still a "Double Cheeseburger", only doubly so. This one seems obvious, so it almost seems stupid to ask. But it sets up my next question:
Would a "Triple Double Cheeseburger" be OK, like the one that other farker was talking about? Because I'm thinking that causes trouble by breaking the whole concept of doubling doubles. A triple is certainly not a doubled double, and is also not a double in itself, despite having the words "Double Cheeseburger" at the end of it. Would you agree?
Therefore, I could be taking a leap, assuming the prior assumptions are correct, and assume that a "Double Double Double Cheeseburger" is also ok, since that is simply an already agreed upon "legal" variation of a "Double Cheeseburger" that was first "Doubled", and then "Doubled once again to make the "Double Double Double Cheeseburger".
So then, assuming that the assumed assumptions above based upon the assumed presumptive assumed assumptive assumptions mentioned prior are implicitly assumed, then one could derive a mathematical formula for legal "Double Cheeseburgers" of 2^n, or "Two to the n'th power", with n being the number of doubled cheeseburgers one wants to create. Thus, the regular, normal, run of the mill and very boring "Double Cheeseburger" would be 2^1 since it is only doubled one time, and "Double Double Cheeseburgers" being 2 squared, and "Double Double Double Cheeseburgers" being 2 cubed, and so on and so forth to whatever number one could possibly desire.
Being a computer geek, I am then drawn to the "Double Double Double Double Double Double Double Double Cheeseburger" represented by 2^8, for what should be obvious reasons. That is of course assuming a 8 bit word system, I suppose. I mean, a lot of us may even use systems where 2^16 would be the kind of burger one would have to crank out, and I suppose one could easily get even larger, even perhaps on today's phones which are surprisingly powerful, and I feel capable of taking food photos, but I'm just not sure if they are quite TD level. But that is kind of going off topic and pehaps too wordy, regardless of how few bits it is based upon.
Is there an upper limit to the number of bytes available? How big can we make our burgers?
