Sourdough, an ingredient of many bread products, is a fermented mixture of flour and water. At 8:00 am on Monday morning, I start with a mixture of 50 g flour and 50 g water. Each morning at 8:00 am I double the weight of the sourdough by adding equal weights of flour and water. I know that 1 g of the water content evaporates every hour. The bread recipe that I would like to use requires 500 g of sourdough. I also want at least 50 g of sourdough left over so that I can continue growing it for next week's bread.

On which day am I going to have the necessary amount of sourdough?
