Theoretical time calculated by: t(L=2x) = ((t(L=x)^(1/3))*2)^3. As we can see, the runtime and the theoretical time based on the time it takes to run 8 nucleotides seem to closely agrees with each other. This confirms what has been demonstrated in lecture, where the time seems to grow exponentially at a rate approximately equal to the third power of the change in length.
