Lemmie see:
Generation 1 has 2 parents (= Generation 2). = 2 Generation 2 has 4 parents (= Generation 3). + 4 Generation 3 has 8 parents (= Generation 4). + 8 Generation 4 has 16 parents (= Generation 5). + 16 Generation 5 has 32 parents (=Generation 6). + 32
Total number: 62. The progression shows not a square root, but a simple calculus of the number of generation times the number of parents of a specific child: 42*2 = 86.
The total sum of all these 43 generations in terms of the number of parents as the predecessors to any now living child: 1892.
I was with you right up to where you got to 32. Even the 62 is not too far away because it is really 64 but you have left the first generation out, I'm guessing. What you did after that I don't understand. Why not just continue where you were from 32 onwards? if you do you get this:
