First person sent the mail to 2 persons. Those 2 sent the
mail to 2 persons each, total 4 persons. Now, those 4 person
sent mail to total 8 persons, then 8 to 16 persons, 16 to 32
persons and so on.... Hence, it a series of 2, 4, 8, 16, 32
upto 30 numbers
It is a Geometric series with common ratio 2 and first
number is also 2. Summation of such series is given by A *
(Rn - 1) / (R - 1) where
A = First term
R = Common Ratio
n = total numbers
So total number of times mail sent by the time it did 30 sets
= 2 * (230 - 1) / (2 - 1)
= 2 * (1073741824 - 1)
= 2 * 1073741823
= 2147483646
