Two friends share a secret on Monday (Day 1} and promise not to tell anyone.
Unfortunately on Tuesday (Day 2), they both individually tell 3 friends, and on Wednesday,
these friends each tell 3 more people and the secret continues to spread in this manner. The spread of the secret can be modelled with the equation:
y = 3ˣ -1
Where: x = the number of the day on which the secret is told
and y = the total number of people who know the secret
How many people were told the secret on the following Monday?
