I still don't understand where 6 and 36 come from. Seem like the numbers of students are doubled. Please explain in better details.

teacher tells 6 students
each of those tells 6 more, for 36 brand-new people.
But the total is now the original 6 plus the 36 new ones.
And so on for each generation. Yiu are correct in saying that next time, there were 6^3 = 216 new people told, but the original 6 and the next 36 have also been told, right?
