400 Babies

Watch this first:

Now, here's the question: how long will it take to spawn 400 babies?

You are a male, and have access to an initial seeding of 2 females. You may only use them and any offspring of theirs to create the 400 babies.

Make the following assumptions:
- the probability of a child being a boy or a girl are independent and are equally likely
- the length of pregnancy is 9 months
- the 'fertile' age is 16 years
- ignore the fact that you are probably Joseph Fritzl
- all children are born without defect that will prevent them from having children later in life
- there are no miscarriages or stillbirths

Get cracking maths nerds :P

Why 2 females? if you drink powerthirst, womenz will want you all the time. Your sperm will also be superpowah, each women you fertilize will have octaplets. Only that the women don't drink powerthirst so most don't survive, only 50 of them survive in your lifetime. But that's okay because all of the babies run really fast like KENYANS and are all like lightning bolt and all win olympics and lots and lots of money.
