In minecraft cactus grows one block every 3 minutes with a maximum of three blocks per cactus tree. When it gets to its maximum, your charactor hits it and all the blocks go in your inventory (this takes 2 seconds) and you start to replant , it takes 3 seconds to plant each cactus.

How much cactus do you have after 48 hours of this process.

Note: No cactus is planted originally and you have 3 cactus in your hand.

How would one answer this

Can't wait for Spiralflex's answer!

So many gaming terms...

Care to explain what do you mean by 3 cactus in your hand? How many pockets does an inventory have?

Well....

Each minute a robot grow, the robot can grow to a max of 3 robots. It takes 3 minutes for a robot to grow one robot.

When the robot grows the max robots, the robots part and form different robot stacks (it takes 2 seconds for this)

___Note the same question (edited for robots i.e. Spiralflex

Do you replant all the blocks/cactuses that you grew? So say you reached the maximum of 3 blocks - do those 3 blocks get replanted or only the original 3 cactuses?

Well, it takes 3 seconds to plant, 6 minutes to grow, and 2 or 6 seconds to harvest. Therefore it's 365 or 369 seconds to gain 2 blocks. 48 hours is 172800 seconds so that gives you 473 or 468 blocks by the end. I think...

Yes, once it is at its peak you take it all and replant it all.

Have you played minecraft?? A Cactus and grow up to three blocks, when it is at its peak (max) you knock it down and replant it all so thoses new onces grow

Inventory space?
Unlimited, or if you want to be picky 100

What do you mean by having 3 cactus in your hand? How does that affect it?

Oh that is minecraft

This is more easy

Basically when the thing has fully grown (3 in height), it resets to one and you have 2 new ones growing. And that cycle contiunes
