.
Does that mean the inflation rate, itself, would be like 26%? Then for it to be hyper inflation that compounds for 3 years?

I guess I'm glad Americans still produce wealth, goods, etc. and looking at it, we would need to damn near stop producing anything to reach the numbers of true hyper inflation.
