It seems I misinterpreted the n parameter. I read the n parameter as the number of retries to make, not counting the first try. With n = tries total the formula will be tot = t * i * ((1 + 1/i)**(n-1) - 1)
and for the values giving t i n - tot - hours - days 480 4 32 - 1936785 - 538 - 22,4 480 5 32 - 681244 - 189 - 7,9 480 6 32 - 339685 - 94 - 3,9 480 7 32 - 207546 - 58 - 2,4 480 8 32 - 144091 - 40 - 1,7 If you step one more time in your program you'll probably find a value close to the one I originally listed. Sorry for the confusion.
