A random hypothetical question here, what would happen if there were more than 10 invests at one time? I presume they'd go to 50L?

Given how large most basins are, it would be very near impossible to even fit that many INVESTs in there, and so I don't really think there would be any need to plan for it. However, I don't know what they would do if such a situation were to occur.

More than 10 invests at once is pretty absurd but if it ever happened somehow, I'd say that yeah, they'll probably just use 50L or something. I mean, they'd have to.

On the other hand, the stress from having 11 or more active invests may lead them to simply replace the numbers with various expletives. The NRL page would look like a George Carlin routine.

If we would ever get 11 or more investments, none of us would get sleep and there would be a million post an hour. LMAO
