Hi guest. It is mind blowing!
Here is something else that might b**w you mind.Say your mum gives you 1c allowance for the first week of January.
That is pretty useless you say - might as well throw it away!
BUT
then each week after that she gives you double as much as she geve you last times.
So in week 2 you get 2c
week3 4c
week 4 8c
You have still only got a total of 1+2+4+8 = 15c
week 5 16c
week 6 32c
week 7 64c
week 8 $1.28
week 9 $2.56
by the time you get to the end of the year - week 52 you will get 2^51 approx 2.2518*10^15 cents
That is week 52 $ 22,518,000,000,000
How is that for mind blowing :)
