The 1p offer, in a 31-day month that'd be £21,474,836.47
Unless you mean he's offering to double both the £10,000 and 1p, in which case I'd take the £10,000 because that'd be £21,474,836,470,000.

The second option of course.
Assuming that the month has the minimum number of days possible, 28,
Sum of money at the end of 28 days
= 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 +... (for 28 days)
= 1(2^28-1) / (2-1) ------> sum of a Geometric Progression
= 268,435,455 pence
= £2,684,354.55

1p double each day for a month is greater than 10,000 but I don't think my boss will give me that amount of money!!!

1p doubled daily sounds like the better prospect.

I would take the 10k. It would take a long time for 1p to add up to 10k and u might get sacked.
