Double A Penny A Day Equation
 

What Is The Equation You Would Use If You Wanted To Figure Out How Much Money You Would Have If You Started On Day One With A Penny, And Doubled Every Day For 365 Days

Ie, Day 1 = 1 Penny, Day 2 = 2 Penny, Day 3 = 4 Penny, Day 4 = 8 Penny

you fall on hard times there Steve ??

Counting pennys ?? your dad throws away hundred dollar bills... lmfao

Easy...
$375,766,813,243,813,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,0 00,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 ,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.00

Did it on an Excel spreadsheet in about 12 seconds, pm f you want it....

Our Gay Low Boy Driver Is Trying To Figure It Out In Excel, I Know Somewhere In My Cloudy Rememberance Of College There Is A Way To Figure That Out With An Equation, But I'm Pretty Sure I Have Sinse Then Killed Those Brain Cells

Besides, If I Fall On Hard Times I Will Just Go To Uncle Otis For A Loan!

GL- WE DID THE EXCEL SHEET AS WELL, I COULD SWEAR THERE IS ANOTHER WAY, WHERE IS CIGDAZE?

After 30 Days:
$5,368,709.12

Did anyone else see the move "The Happening" ? This "quiz" was in the movie.

What a WHACKED out movie!

THe game of chess was sold to an Egyption king, long ago. The "inventor" asked for one grain of wheet, per square times the next square times the previous square. Geometric progression. After the king has agreed for the payment, next day he was shocked that all his silos and storage of wheet/wealth was carted away for payment.

I ciounted my wealth this morning, and I was done before I finished this sentence. :(

It's an exponential growth function.

y = 2^(x-1) where x is the day - starting with 1 penny on day 1 - and y is the number of pennies you would have on that day.

Or you can just take a calculator, enter .01 x2, x2, x2. . .30 times.

yep, saw it. Left you hanging didnt it?

You need to use more of your spare time getting your boat back together and less worrying about pennies:party-smiley-004: Remember you live in Florida now....It's always boating season:drink:

If I understand the original question, you're throwing a penny in a jar on day 1. Each following day, you throw in double the amount you did on the previous day.
What you want to know is how much is in the jar after 30 days? If I understood the question right, it's $10,737,418.23.

Yeah, would have been better if it ended in FRANCE though!! :D

Boomer said 365 days

:D

I followed Boomer's progression in what he says after 4 days he has 8 cents... not fifteen as in the other calculation.

As for your editorial without any input;
"In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is more meaningful than our criticism designating it so."
-Anton Ego

"The poorest way to face life is to face it with a sneer. There are many men who feel a kind of twister pride in cynicism; there are many who confine themselves to criticism of the way others do what they themselves dare not even attempt. There is no more unhealthy being, no man less worthy of respect, than he who either really holds, or feigns to hold, an attitude of sneering disbelief toward all that is great and lofty, whether in achievement or in that noble effort which, even if it fails, comes to second achievement. A cynical habit of thought and speech, a readiness to criticise work which the critic himself never tries to perform, an intellectual aloofness which will not accept contact with life's realities - all these are marks, not as the possessor would fain to think, of superiority but of weakness. They mark the men unfit to bear their part painfully in the stern strife of living, who seek, in the affection of contempt for the achievements of others, to hide from others and from themselves in their own weakness. The rôle is easy; there is none easier, save only the rôle of the man who sneers alike at both criticism and performance.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
-Theodore Roosevelt, April 23rd, 1910

That was DEEP..
I had to read that twice!!
And old Ted thought that up in 1910... He must not have had boat!!

Wow :ernaehrung004

plus all the previous days.

2^365 -1
On the last day you have 2^364 and all the other days combine equals 1 less then double that.

the formula is (.02)^364
You don't count the first day. I saw the movie the happening And I had to find a formula.

Those last 10 days are the tough ones

One cen a day dou
