Here's a fun question for everyone. No calculators until you answer the question and go with your first choice:
If you are offered a job with two different pay choices for the exact same work, which would you take?
1. You get paid $250,000 a month (30 day period)
2. You get paid a penny on the first day and on day 2 it doubles to 2 pennies, day 3 it doubles again to 4 pennies and so on until the 30th day. After that you will get paid a penny again on day 1 of next month and it doubles again until 30th day.
that's an old riddle, and given the $5m+ difference between the two amounts, you're better off with the latter option.

A riddle older than peeing standing up. The second one will clearly give you more money, because it's 2^30 pennies. Lots of people dont really see thepower of exponential numbers.

It's obviously the second option. How about this for a riddle? A rich person doesn't have a lot of it, a poor person has plently of it, and when you die you take it with you. What is it?

I choose the first to be doubled everyday for the rest of my life

The first option, because otherwise I would punch my boss in the face for giving me a penny for a full days work. I don't care how exponential it gets, I WORKED 12 HOURS ON MY FIRST DAY!!!!
