Tremendous Strength: For Strength scores not shown on Table: Carrying Capacity, find the Strength score between 20 and 29 that has the same number in the "ones" digit as the creature's Strength score does and multiply the numbers in that row by 4 for every 10 points the creature's Strength is above the score for that row.
Do you guys interpret this as (4x4x4) or (4+4+4) as an example say I have a 50 strength would I multiply the amount by 12 (4+4+4) or 64 (4x4x4)?

4x4x4.
This is consistent with how carrying capacity changes from Str 5 to Str 25 - x4x4, rather than x(4+4).

Very interesting. T-lion will be glad to know that he can lift several black holes at once.
Heh. I was about to comment. My reading is the same as Matthew's.
To be fair, Vid, we were discussing a hypothetical Strength score of ~2,929... XD
I'm going to snip a bit of our conversation from before, just to show a few points of conversation:
(Clipped to relevant parts for the over-all discussion, not specific examples.)
-=========Took the below out of quote box, as it looked bad and confusing=========-
But here was my logic (and I'm ready to be told, "Tac, you're being dumb." That happens.):
If I get 39 Str, that multiplies by x4.
If I then get 49 Str, that multiplies by x4.
If I then get 59 Str, that multiplies by x4.
To me, that pattern looks like I'm going to go x4x4x4, or 4^3.
If I hear you, correctly you read that it's:
If I get 39 Str, that multiplies by x4.
If I get 49 Str, that multiplies by x4*2 = x8.
If I get 59 Str, that multiplies by x4*3 = x12.
That's what you're getting, right?

EDIT: ninja Vid edit!
Edit: My initial impression is that you would figure out the modifier for having a 50 str for example so it would be x8 (4+4) but and I think your right now that I think about it. it would be a 16 (4x4) multiple
Right?
Yeah, I'm getting the latter, by my reading. I guess I can see the former (as it's much easier), but the latter seems to be what they're saying.
That said, I'm prepared to be wrong!

I keep hearing the one punch man theme playing in my head.
Vid's eventual response (there's a lot of stuff there I'm chopping out, and I'm editing the format, slightly, for clarity):
---- bump for easy reading ----
---- bump ----
---- final bump for phones ----

hmm. I'm leaning towards the 4*2 4*3 4*4 route but i'm still not sure enough to say.

Well, he does sound pretty mythic...
That said, as I noted in the other thread, if you go by the multiplication method...
Hmmmm... suddenly this doesn't seem so impossible by rules, after all...
... as in, it could have had what amounts to a temporary strength boost that enabled it to claw it's own way out.
While *I* totally agree with Matthew's interpretation, I'm always surprised when a rules debate is so one-sided (i.e. 2:1) interpretation and so short...

To be honest, I don't see any other possibile interpretation.
There's also evidence from the table itself, except for really low scores.

I have the spreadsheet formula that recreates the full table here.
For 2929 Str, you get a max of ~5.54E+177 lbs.
That is approx:
2.77E+174 Tons
1.27E+147 Solar Masses
9.04E+138 Galactic Center Black Hole of NGC 1097
