What would you take??

(1/6) > >>

Aquilo:
OK the full question...

if someone offered you one billion dollars a day for life or 1 cent today 2 cent the next and so on for life which would you take?

example
1 cent a day...
day 1 you get $0.01
day 2 you get $0.02 you now have $0.03
day 3 you get $0.04 you now have $0.07

1 billion dollars a day...
by day three you have 3 billion dollars


for those that would like here is a script to add those Penney's ;D
well it only goes for 44 days but by then it can't count right! ;D
<?php
$p[] = 1;
echo 'day ', '<b>1</b>  you get  <b>$0.01</b><br />';
for($i=1; $i<44; $i++)
{
$p[$i] = $p[$i-1]*2;
$y[$i] = $i == 1 ? $p[$i] + '1' : $p[$i] + $y[$i-1];
echo 'day <b>', ($i+1), '</b> you get <b>$', ($p[$i]/100), '</b> you now have <b>$', ($y[$i]/100), '</b><br />';
}
?>

Ben_S:
not exactly a hard choice

truecrimson:
Man if  could have the billion just on the first day I'd be very very happy!

Overseer:
i'm goin for the doubling thing :)

i worked out i'll be getting more after a certain period of time ;)

truecrimson:
After the first day I don't need anymore.  I just want to buy an island, not an entire moon.
