| − | ::If Conservapedia has 3,000 articles and grows at 70 articles per day, that means that it grows by 2.3% every day. I don't think it will really keep doing this, but let's suppose it did. My calculations show that 1.023<sup>31</sup>, that is 1.023 multiplied by itself thirty-one times, is 2.02. That means that the number of articles would double every month.
