And multi strip plugs. Each one will plug in six more strips. The number
of final outlets is infinite.

Or so some people think...............................


Starting with a duplex receptacle, the formula is:

O = S (N - 1) + 2

Whe

O = total number of outlets
S = number of power strips
N = number of outlets per power strip

Where N is always 6, here's some values of O (for a given S):

0 2
1 7
2 12
3 17
4 22
5 27
6 32
7 37
8 42
9 47
10 52

But you wanted:

O = infinity * (6 - 1) + 2

BTW, this is true even for those too stupid to figure out where the
"-1" came from.
