How can LV win the war in three weeks

I've been feeling uneasy every time I was reading that part in GoF 
where imposter!Moody put the Imperius curse on Viktor Krum and made 
him to crucio Cedric. Putting a curse on someone that makes him curse 
somebody else? It didn't seem right somehow, but I couldn't exactly 
put my finger on it. Until today, when finally it dawned on me, and I 
discovered The Terrible Secret: how can LV win the war in just three 
weeks and without even exerting himself.

All he has to do is get outside his hideout and imperio the first 
wizard he meets in the street. Then he should give this wizard just 
three directions:

1. Be a good servant of the Dark Lord.
2. Go and imperio other wizards.
3. Give them these three directions.

If we assume that each imperio'ed wizard imperios just one additional 
wizard per day, in the second day LV will have 2 servants, in the 
third day 4, in the forth day 8, in the fifth day 16... ok, you get 
the picture. In three weeks he will have millions, which is more than 
the wizard population of Britain. Taking control over the whole world 
will require another week or two.

Does this idea sound familiar? You bet! It is exactly the idea that 
makes the computer virus, or the biological virus for that matter, so 
dangerous.  

Well, as Hermione noted once, many of the greatest wizards "haven't 
got an ounce of logic". So let us hope that LV is such a great 
wizard, and he'll never think of this.

:-D
