This is a geometric sequence with a = 6 and r = 6
that is ...
6, 36, 216, ...
after the 1st hour 6 people 6^1 people will see it
after the 2nd hour, 6^2 or 36 people will see it
after the 3rd hour, 6^3 or 216 people will see it
...
after the 6th hour, 6^6 or 46,656 people will see it
If you wanted the total number of people who have see it ...
sum(6) = 6(6^6 - 1)/(6-1) = 55,986
