A man from a nearby country explained the king how to play chess. Becoming very interested in the game, the king wanted to praise the man and asked him what he want. He humbly asked the king to give gold coins with the following condition.
Put a gold coin in the 1st square of the chess board and consequently put the double of the previous one's content in each squares. The total count of coins of all 64 squares placed in this order must be paid to him.
The king agreed happily to give that *SMALL* amount and he is now going to count. He is having ten tons of Gold in his treasury and a gold coin is weighing a gram. Answer me, will he praise the man as promised.
IF YOU CAN'T, THEN YOU'RE GRANTED TO USE YOUR COMPUTER.
