In a petri dish, bacteria grow. Say they double every generation, and five generations before the end the petri dish is 15/16ths empty, and then the next generation's 3/4ths empty, and the next generation half empty. Within one generation after the petri dish still being half empty, it is full. There's no more food and the bacteria have collapsed.
Bakteri tumbuh dalam cawan petri. Mereka membelah jadi dua tiap generasi, lima generasi sebelum akhir cawan masih kosong 15/16, generasi selanjutnya kosong 3/4, dan generasi berikutnya kosong setengah. Dalam satu generasi lagi sejak kosong setengah itu, cawan jadi penuh. Tidak ada lagi makanan dan bakterinya mati.
