I went to the blacksmith on sunday and he was closed, however I located him, and asked him if he would shoe my horse.
seeing as though it's sunday he replied I will do it for you but I will have to charge you quite a bit, ok I said how much do you want.
he said I want 1 penny (cent) for the first nail and 2 pennys for the second nail and 4 pennies for the third nail 8 for the fourth and so on, the cost of each nail doubled to the last nail
I thought for a second, ok 7 nails in each shoe, and there are 4 shoes it seemed ok, and I needed it done so I agreed.
the blacksmith continued to shoe the horse
How much was his bill going to cost me?
no tricks in the quesiton above
