A) Of the 27 customers , 25 found the experience enjoyable and each told 3 friends over the next month. This group each told 3 friends over the next month , and so on, for six months. Assuming that no one heard twice, how many people have had a positive experience or heard positive reviews of the restaurant?
B) Suppose the 3 unhappy customers each told 6 friends over the next month about the experience. This group then each told 6 friends, and so on, for six months. Assuming that no one heard twice, how many people have had a negative experience or heard a negative review.
