Does anyone think this idea will work? (doubleapenny.com?

Question

This guy is trying to make a million dollars by doubling 1 penny up 27 times. Does this have a chance for working? www.doubleapenny.com

Answer 1

It depends on who's gonna double the sum and the reason to do so.
But personally I think it's another trick to attract visitors for this site.

Answer 2

Nope

There is an old legend that some one was offered a million gold pieces or 1 grain of rice, doubled up for each square on the chess board. The rice would have been more than all the rice in the world. I am pretty certain that 1 doubled 27 times is an astronomic amount of money.

Who would give someone half a million dollars?

Answer 3

that depends, if he can generate enough publicity for the website, then im pretty sure advertisers will want to pay those amounts. but it needs to be a LOT of publicity. remember that million pixel page guy? some of the ads on his page were around 20 or 30 thousand dollars each

Answer 4

Of course it is possible, it just isn't likely

If he could do it , he would have 134,217,728 pennies, which of course is $1,342,177.28

But where would he get all the pennies..??? The last double cost him $671,088.64...That is a lot of money to come up with to buy pennies.

Answer 5

I've read that same book before. Sure it CAN happen - but is it effecient, and likely? Probably not. But I suppose if you want to do little else, you could pull it off. Crazier things have happened.
