@firestormdangerdash theres an old tale of a man who conned another man with a chess board, by asking to be paid in grains of rice, he's get 1 grain on sq 1, 2 on the 2nd 4 on the 3rd 8 on the 4th, and so on, and the guy accepted, but if you do the math, you realize that at the end of it all, you get 18,446,744,073,709,551,615 grains of rice.
so once I proposed to pay a kid I was babysitting at the time in by paying him in like that "one coin on the 1st square, 2 on the second and so forth" if he cleaned his room
but the way it is said like that doesn't increase exponentially, it increases only by ONCE CENT PER SQUARE
so on a standard 64 sq board that equals 127 cents
