A man does a very heroic deed and the king wants to repay him, he offers him diamonds, Jewels or land.
But the man refuses and says I would like you to place 1 gold coin on the first square of the chess board, 2 on the second square, 4 or the third etc. So the king sends for a chess board and a bag of gold from his cellars.
Soon the bag is empty and the king sends for more gold.
Even with all the gold in his land the king cannot fill the chess board.

There is a similar trick with a chess board.

Congrats to bleu and panda.It is really amazing how it multiples in just 30 days.
Hi folks be careful with loan and other multiples we may be caught up in the middle
Isn't it 2^30 - 1 dirhams
1 day = 1 = 2^1-1
2 days = 1+2 = 2^2-1
...etc.
so it's 10737418.23 , more than 10 million QR.
p.s. I like math.
off course the 30 month course gives more money.
calculate for yourself.

"Drink Beer Save Water"
if its a 30 day month!
...nonetheless, i think the joke is on us, i.e. those that took the time to work it out
2^30 = 1073741824 dirhams = 10737418.24 QR > 1MQR
Damn math is my families enemy
