In a quiz competition, there are a total of
questions, each with
answer choices. A participant who answers all questions correctly will receive a gift. To ensure that at least one member of my family answers all questions correctly, how many family members need to take the quiz?
Now, suppose my spouse and I move into a new home. Every year, we have twins. Starting at the age of
, each of our twin children also begins to have twins every year. If this pattern continues, how many years will it take for my family to grow large enough to have the required number of members to guarantee winning the quiz gift?
