Point Genesis

Statement only · UnsolvedOriginal problem ↗

There is a plane on which all points are initially white, except three red points and two blue points.
On each day, every line passing through a red point and a blue point is constructed. Then every white point, where two different such lines meet, turns blue.

Let g(n) be the maximal possible number of blue points after n days.

For example, g(1)=8 and g(2)=28.

Find g(16).
