YOUR TEMPERATURE

[Major Payne]

Good enuf! LOL Your turn.

[gr8joel]

Ok if i give you a penny on the first day and 2 pennies on the second day and 4 pennies on the third day and i kept doubling it, for 30 days, houw much money would u have. Dont cheat , no calculator, just give me "around the ball park " number , and if its close enough you got it.

[Major Payne]

It would be a lot as that amount is the same as 2 to the 30th power.

[gr8joel]

actually it would be 2 raised to the 29 power plus one penny. Good enuff though (omg look at me adopting your word) ur turn

[gr8joel]

over 5 million by the way, okj now its ur turn

[Major Payne]

Actually it is 2^n - 1 or 2^30 - 1 = 1,073,741,824 - 1 = 1,073,741,823 pennies, but who's counting? (1,073,741,823 divided by 100 = $10,737,418.23. That's almost eleven million dollars!)

My head hurts so let's move on: What relation to you is your aunt's daughter? (Easy one)

sorry disregard the plus one penny its 2 rasied to the 29, this is because the first day you start out with one penny, now the second day you have two pennies. How many days remain? 29 days. so then you would take 2 raised to the 29 power, . there you go buddy

2^29=536870912/100= $5,368,709.12 just over five mil

[gr8joel]

The relation is your cuzion omg

[Major Payne]

Your answer of cuzion is correct, your answer to math is still wrong. Yourn turn anyway.

[gr8joel]

Nope sorry ur wrong, anyways heres a new riddle


anyways heres the new one

made iit up me-self

I'm called by three letters
Though I have a long name.
I'm in all of you,
But I'm never the same.

I'm all coiled up
So that I am quite small,
But if you stretch me out
I'll be really tall.

I could be the root
Of certain disease;
If man can unlock me
He'll solve many mysteries.

[Chopin]

It's DNA! (Biology AP does come in handy sometimes. There's over 2m of DNA coiled up in every cell!)

I don't have a riddle, so anyone who wants to post one, go right ahead!

Nope sorry ur wrong

My dad, the nationally accredited math teacher says....

*drumroll*

Major Payne is correct.

The sequence S₃₀=1(1-2³⁰)/1-2

Simplifies to S₃₀=2³⁰-1=1,073,741,824 PENNIES divided by 100 = $10,737,418.23




So there!
