Deaths
gollark: What if I don't want to?
gollark: They just don't make sense. Do they go up or down or sideways? What if I put in a really, really big number - can it reach the thing it asymptotically tends towards *then*? What if I want it to output a different value? Are bees holomorphic?
gollark: However, I don't know how asymptotes work, so I'm just going for slightly increasing it each time.
gollark: It must asymptotically approach 6.1 as it approaches completion.
gollark: 6.00000000003.
