Start with
+N%280%29+=+100+
After 1 hr:
+N%281%29+=+100+%2B+.6%2A100+
+N%281%29+=+100%2A%28+1.6+%29%5E1+
---------------------
After 2 hrs:
+N%282%29+=+%28+100+%2B+.6%2A100+%29+%2B+.6%2A%28+100+%2B+.6%2A100+%29+
+N%282%29+=+%28+1+%2B+.6+%29%2A%28+100+%2B+.6%2A100+%29+
+N%282%29+=+%28+1+%2B+.6+%29%2A%28+1+%2B+.6+%29%2A100+
+N%282%29+=+100%2A%28+1+%2B+.6+%29%5E2+
--------------------
The general formula is:
+N%28h%29+=+100%2A1.6%5Eh+
