How many ink blots are in this picture ?
For "many worlds", imagine that evolving in time, with fuzzy borders.
The Many Worlds Interpretation doesn't imply a countable number of worlds that suddenly branch, it's more like a fuzzy continuum; talking of branching worlds and timelines is just a high-level abstraction that makes things easier to discuss.
This is a really good analogy to explain what a wrong question is.
