In 1987, a young woman named Holly Ackerman was killed in a bizarre cult ritual. Now that you have read her name, she will come to you in the night and pay you a horrifying visit. You MUST do the following:
Chain letters is based on the fact that most people breaks them.
Assume that a chain letter only will be posted to two new people, and that no one gets the letter twice. It can be described with the equation:
R=2^(P-1)
Where R is the number of recipients (counting the starter as a recipient) and P is the number of permutations (counting the starter as permutation 1.)
So, how many permutations are needed until every human in the world has got a letter?
In permutation 34 will the limit be reached, as:
8589934592=2^(34-1)
And a more general equation is:
P=L^(P-1)
Where L is the number of letters every person is supposed to send.
You can also use this equation to prove why pyramid schemes eventually will collapse and that the only winners is in the top. (Note that pyramid schemes aren't the same as Ponzi schemes.)

Sorry, misspelled:

I actually got an erection at the lactating thing. I was disappointed in myself. :(
THEN I FOUND /B/, AND THAT WAS NORMAL BY COMPARISON.
