Necessary pedantry: if he's 4 foot 6 inches now, 3 inches is 5.555 (recurring) percent of that. If he grows at 105.555% per year then by 17 he is a fairly plausible 6 foot 6. (I think he then passes the forty foot mark soon after age 50.)

Ah, but he only grew about half an inch from 9 to 10, so the "rate" of "runaway progress" is "accelerating" "exponentially" (wait, how many derivatives is that?), and he will soon EsCapE CoNTaiNmEnT and hack HuggingFace...
