if you were to do a job for me...?

Question

and i offered to pay you for thirty days work,100,000 pounds or a penny a day and double it, what would you take?

Answer 1

The key to this is how often you would double it.
30 days @ 1p = 30p X2 =60p and for 60p you could stick your job!
However if you paid a penny for the first day and doubled the accumulated total at the end of each day until the end of the 30 days then you could be my favourite employer. When do I start?

Answer 2

I would take a penny a day if you doubled it because it would work out at roughly ten million pounds(give or take £100,000) if my maths is correct

Answer 3

penny a day and double it - started working it out and got past the 100, 000 mark before day thirty. you could leave sooner too if it was a really horrible job because you'd have the money - probably be worth staying though if you're getting 200000 for a days work x

Answer 4

Penny a day and double it. That is over 5 million pounds.
Now then what is the job you want doing?

Answer 5

Penny a day and double it, works out at MUCH more than 100k.

Answer 6

Absolutly

by the end of thirty days i'd have like a million dollars

Answer 7

A penny a day for 30 days would yield £5368709.12 so I recon I'd go for that.

Answer 8

if you worked it like this
day one payed 1p day 2 got 2 pence as its been doubled get payed 1p again now got 3p day 3 6p as its been doubled get paid 1p now got 7p then by day 30 id have £10,737,418.22 get paid 1p so now i have £10,737,418.23 double that and i got £21,474,836.46 so ill take the pennt a day an double it option!

Answer 9

penny a day and double it, I'll be a millionaire in NO TIME AT ALL.

Answer 10

Penny because you would get more eventually.
