IIRC, back in the '70's or 80's, there was a baseball player negotiating a new contract that proposed getting a dollar for his first home run of the season and having the amount double for each additional home run the rest of the season.
He was a good player that hit quite a few homers so the owner of the team said no. (I can't remember the player, maybe it was "fake news" or maybe just something I dreamed.)
If my figures are correct, his twenty-first home would be worth $1,048,576, the twenty-second worth $2,097,152, etc.
Kind of like the video paul posted with the lily pad analogy.
You don't want this to get to the point where confirmed cases double every day. | |
