so in my econ. class today i learned a random yet interesting fact....lets say i propose to you a trade...you give me your HOUSE and in return i give you a penny..however i promise to double that penny every day for a whole month(31 days) meaning on day two you would have two cents...day 3 4 cents etc....who would take me up on the offer?

pennies, i started it out and half way through the month a few hundred

Anyway, a gas station we pass. We got gas, and ran off to get grub.It was a nice little pub in the middle on nowhere. Anywhere woulda been better. I ordered enchiladas and I ate 'em, Ali had the fruit punch.

depends on if it's compunding or not foo! If you get paid the running total each day then it will be higher. I was assuming you get paid once at the end of the month! God DAM I dont know what I'm talking about.

$10737418.24 is the answer cuz none of you guys divided by 100 because it was cents and you have to convert to dollars

pennys are the highest monitary value that I use. I load them up in a garbage bag when I go somewhere.

witt... would you really give someone your girlfriend in return for a house? i don't think that's very nice... unless it was a really nice house, with a pool.
