A user receives a joke that he decides to forward to everyone in his address book. Each of the 50 people in his address book also forward the joke. If 20% of these 50 people have 30 people in their own address books and the other 80% of the 50 have 40 people in their address books, how many computers will be infected with the virus? Assume that none of the 50 people know each other.
