Which would you rather: a penny that doubles every day for a month, or £1,000,000?

Well, a penny which doubles every day for 30 days reaches 536870912p which is £5,368,709.12 which is 5 times more so yes please!


Ragman
Some people's calculations differ to mine but i'll take the doubling penny.....in a 30 day month it would be worth £5,368,238.....in a 31 day month it would be worth £10,736,476.....don't give it to me in February of a leap year though

I'd take the penny. In 30 days it would be worth over £5,000,000

Take the penny that doubles every day. After 30 days it's worth £5368709.12
In 28 days it's still worth it at £1342177.28

Do you mean the penny doubles after one day, then that amount doubles the next day ie 1 then 2 then 4 then 8 then 16 etc.? If so I'll take the penny; think it works out at about 5 million pounds after a 30 day month...though I could be wrong; I am getting a bit drunk


brittanysbryant@sbcglobal.net
penny a day!!

The penny .. havent worked it all out but in the end must be more...


Lily R
I spent an hour last night working that out then my computer broke but I was going to say I'd take the 1p that doubles.

I have thought long and hard about this question and I have to say that, on balance, I would rather have the£1,000,000

I'll take the penny that doubles if you are offering. I will send you my bank info so you can make the deposit.


ziggy bulldust

ill take the penny, im pretty patient.


tattyhead65
I think I'd rather have instant gratification rather than have to wait a month.


randall_senn
It depends.

If I thought the person making the offer was good for the million, but not for the 536 million, then I'd take the one million and run.

But, if I thought they'd really honor the deal and hand over 536 million, I'd wait the month and take that.

A penny a day.........


stephenweinstein
If you mean a British penny, then the penny, because it will be more than £1,000,000 by the end of the month.

If you mean a U.S. penny, it depends on the $:£ exchange rate.


techbankguy
LOLOLOLOL!

My 3rd Grade Mathbook (Written on papyrus given my age!) had that in as an 'insert' story!

You'd want the penny.

I love the question, though, because you put in a US currency with a UK currency outcome.

So... today, a US penny that doubles every day for a month (assuming a 30 day month... and believe me, it makes a big difference), would result in $536,870,912 or 261,295,073 Pounds given todays rate of .4867 US to Pound currency exchange.

Cheers!


SunRae
Bring on the million, I would stick it in a high interest acc at the beginning of the penny month and beat it through the interest rate. Ha!

Would that be a 30 day month 31 day month, Feburary with 28days or a leap year with 29?
