Would you rather be given $1,000,000 OR 1 cent, but money doubles every day?

Would you rather be given:

$1,000,000




OR

1 cent in a bank account that doubles its contents every day for 30 days?

Obviously the penny. What kind of retarded first grade math problem is this
"Same here, im at a point where I watch hentai and jack off to high res VR cartoon hentai maids that look like 3d models of the drawings you usually see in hentais but full vr with boob physics and everything in 3d like real life. They are way better than reality even lol. "

I'll take the milli now, not because I don't know math, but rather have a large sum in hand at 30 instead of waiting till I'm fukin 60.

That million dollar can buy me many amazing experiences while I'm young and can enjoy it instead of literally counting pennies until I'm almost retired. LOL at you if you think otherwise.

So the original version of this problem is 1 million that doubles each week or 1 penny that increases exponentially each day (.02, .04, .16, etc.). Anybody who does not choose the $1 million is an idiot.

The $1,000,000 will be worth a ridiculous amount anyways, and you will have that wealth accumulate much faster. If somebody offers you $1,000,000 or more liquid, take it you fkn ******* holy ****.

In 30 days you'd have earned $10.7 million going the penny route.

math brah checkin in


Since the initial cent only doubles to 2 cents after the first day, then continues to double,

it would be 2^29 cents = 536,870,912 cents = $ 5,368,709 which is roughly 5 mil

5 mil >1 mil, take the penny boyos
