May 1 is Save the Rhino Day and, as you may have guessed, it's a day all about the preservation of rhinos.
This especially goes for the White Rhino. The world's last male white rhino, Sudan, has joined Tinder in order to find a mate. Well, not exactly. He "joined" Tinder as a last resort marketing campaign by wildlife experts to keep the species alive.
Suppose Sudan finds his soulmate on Tinder. She loves long walks in the meadows, and other rhino activities. Furthermore, assume a rhino only gives birth once a year. How many years will it take before the white rhino population reaches , assuming their growth is exponential?
Round to the nearest year.
