Bored at work, so here is a brain teaser! 30 day contract to work 8 hour days for 30 days straight. I will pay you .01(penny) for the entire first day. The 2nd day i will double it to .02(2 pennies) for the entire day. I will continue to double your pay for each day for the 30 days. Do you accept?

Take a guess on what you think your pay will be on the 30th day.
