  • 1 cent doubled daily for 30 days... as it adds up to $10,737,418.24.
  • Maybe I am reading this wrong, but wouldn't having one cent doubled each day yield me only 60-62 cents? I mean, if given the choice, I would most definitely pick the $100,000.00 as I do need a great deal of money as of late. That would most likely cover the majority of what I need (college funds), and any extra I would use to support myself while *in* college. (Okay, well clearly I misssed the whole "one cent" thing, so I'm just going to make it easier on myself and say "whichever gives me more money." Heh. [I know, it sounds greedy when put that way...])
