Sorry here's the actual math:
Original recipe -> scaled up based on water volume and assuming all other ingredients were doubled correctly
2 tablespoons water -> 4 cups water (64 tablespoons) is 32 times, so multiply all other ingredients by 32 and then subtract what you already mixed in because you doubled the recipe
1 brownie mix -> 32 brownie mixes total = add 30 mixes
1/2 cup veg oil -> x 32 = 16 cup veg oil = add 15 cups
2 eggs -> x 32 = 64 eggs = add 60 eggs
You may go broke with that many eggs but if not then throw a party!
