Lmackattack Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 If you were offered a job for 30 days where you get paid 1 penny for your first day, your wage will double every day, and you're fired on the 30th day...simple question......Would you take the job? 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/26853-would-you-take-the-job/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pawel Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 That's an old trick! I would take it hands down. Quick calculation shows on the last day you'd get 2^30 = 2^10 * 2^10 *2^10=1024*1024*1024 pennies - that's about 10 000 000 dollars - that day alone would be worth it.

burnstransport Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 OK I cheated and put it into a Microsoft spreadsheet, the round figure is 10.74 million $2,684,354.56 is a nice months payEven better when you consider it's technically your second to last DAY's pay (assuming a 30 day month)Pretty sweet I gotta say My first response was "no, I'm not that short sighted to quit my steady job for 30 days of work" but now I'm thinking it'll be worth it Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/26853-would-you-take-the-job/#findComment-133869 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pawel Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Aww, come on! Taxes never take everything! Even if the taxes took you 90%, would it still be so bad to earn 1M$ in 30 days?, Dang, some CEOs actually make this kinda money, month for month, and I say taxes on them are too low. Think about it, in the moment where such a guy goes to the toilet, he takes a paid break that's worth more than my month's pay, that jut can't be right. And here we rant again! Have a nice dayPawel Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/26853-would-you-take-the-job/#findComment-133881 Share on other sites More sharing options...
