gollark: I think arrow is the right term.
gollark: The one which would require 72 petadragons was a 56G arrow.
gollark: The numbers are perfectly manageable if you accept inbreeding and don't mind breeding for ages, or use a cheaper thing like stairstep.
gollark: So, 2 times itself 56 times in total, which is 2^56, which is 72 quadrillion or so.
gollark: In an arrowish one, the last one will have two parents, each of which will have two parents, repeated 54 or so more times.
