Habsburgs reducing the amount of ancestors judgement with one simple trick. Click here to find out

There's an incorrect assumption here that makes the whole math portion meaningless. That assumption is that ancestors must be unique.

In reality, you can have two parents each having two children, and then those two children having two children, etc.

Hell, you can do it with two initial parents, and then each generation only having 1 child, which then mates with its parents, and then the family tree looks kind of like a braid.

So, in reality, you only need 12 ancestors to be the 12th generation. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

I know I'm late to the party but wtf

Also I'm not sure so much incest makes a viable 12th generation.
