If on day 1 you got 1c then 2c on day 2 and 4c on day 3 and 16c on day 4 and so on, How much money would you have after 8 years 3 months and 12 days, if you were born on June 8 1124. Be shure to include leap years.
june 8 1124 : june 8 1132
8 years = 8*365 + 2(leap days) = 2922
june 8 1132 : july 8: 1132
30 days
july 8 '32 : aug 8 '32
31 days
aug 8 '32 : sep 8 '32
31 days
+ 12 days = 2922 + 92 +12 = 3026
sum (k, 0, 3026, 2^k) is a power series so
(1-2^3027)/(1-2) = 2^3027 - 1 and according to my comp =

which is apx (2^7)*2^3020 = 128*1024^302~ 1.28 EE 908
my answer is 912 digits 4 off aint bad and doesn't require a computer

The number is not even, as even numbers must be divisible by 2 and get an integer value. But even more important, how can you get less than a cent?

Didn't you get my last two moves (including the request for a game)... I sent them to:
Coconut Brain
0 Clue Road
Sarchasm, Ohio

Edit: Little-Known-Postal-Fact: If you are not sure of the correct zip code to use on a letter, do not guess! Leave it blank. An incorrect zip code will misroute your letter, taking longer to get to its destination, possibly even going in circles, while a letter with no zip code is sent directly to the city in the address.

ok i'm getting tired of the fumbling around
june 8 1124 : june 8 1132
8 years = 8*365 + 2(leap days) = 2922
june 8 1132 : july 8: 1132
30 days
july 8 '32 : aug 8 '32
31 days
aug 8 '32 : sep 8 '32

+ 12 days = 2922 + 92 +12 = 3026
sum (k, 0, 3026, 2^k) is a power series so
(1-2^3027)/(1-2) = 2^3027 - 1 and according to my comp ...[text shortened]... 4^302~ 1.28 EE 908
