log (1.14^x) <greater/equal> log (10) = 1
x log (1.14) <greater/equal> 1
Since log [to the base 10] of 1.14 is 0.0569,
we have
0.0569 x <greater/equal> 1
x <greater/equal> 17.6
Apparently the smallest possible integer is 18.
And if you check by calculating 1.14^17 and 1.14^18,
you'll see that 10 falls in between.
