Depends on how long you would be paying me the penny a day doubbled. 28 days or more I'll take the penny plan, less than I'll take the million.

Cool! So all we need to do is find a business opportunity you can get started for a penny that also guarantees an annual profit of = 75000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000 %. Should be easy.

NB - the above figure is correct.

I'd rather take the million.

I don't trust installment payment plans.

I'm not sure the penny a day would be good for the world economy, over the course of five years.

I'd take the million, I'm not greedy. Plus, wrapping all the pennies would be a PITA.

SUM(2^i-1,1,finish day) = total amount of pennies

It's a discrete problem, not a continuous one...
