How much total grain would the traveling salesman receive if the checkerboard only had 24 squares?

Question

Finally--Calculate the amount of wheat necessary to fill 64 Squares

Answer 1

Your question is not well formed but it is a classic question.
I heard it done with rice. (one grain on first square, two on second, four on third etc...)
(I think it was the reward for inventing chess.)
so 2^24-1 =16777215
2^64-1=18446744073709551615

Answer 2

I assume you are asking the famous 1 grain on the 1st square, 2 on the 2nd, 4 on the 3rd etc.

with 24 squares the total is 2^24-1=16,777,215 grains

for 64, 2^64-1=18,446,744,073,709,551,615 grains

Answer 3

you need more information to solve this problem......like how much grain fits in a square
