ie: the 2x system.
1st offense = 1 week
2nd offence = 2 weeks
3rd offence = 4 weeks
4th offence = 8 weeks, etc.3x system.
1st offense = 1 week
2nd offence = 3 weeks
3rd offence = 9 weeks
4th offence = 27 weeks, etc.Chemist appears to be liked because his 4th offence got him 8 weeks (2x system) while I have seen the more unsavory characters fall into the 3x system.
