We illustrate the use of the notion of derived recurrences introduced earlier to evaluate the algebraic entropy of self-maps of projective spaces. We in particular give an example, where a complete proof is still awaited, but where different approaches are in such perfect agreement that we can trust we get to an exact result. This is an instructive example of experimental mathematics.
