Would you take $1 million or a magic penny that doubled in value everyday for 30 days?

[Lootha VanDraws]

1 million because there is no such thing as a magic penny.

Spoiler

Unless you mean a penny from Magic Johnson

Yeah, I'll take the penny, I can wait a month for an extra 4 million

I would take the million dollars.

Theoretically the magical penny is worth more, but it looks like a lesson in greed. I would be paranoid about only the original doubling, or someone detecting that the coins are exact replicas (in other words counterfeit) of one another.

I’m not waiting 30 days when I can quickly start investing with the million lol

What type of investments are you gonna do that could turn 1 million into 5.5 million in less than 30 days?

That’s not the goal. The goal is just producing passive income.

I would take neither. Not all money is good money...

I didn't miss anything. If it's value doubles, each day, it's worth $.02 each day. The way you're going is that the additional value is retained which isn't stated. Neither is the original value for that matter. Since neither are stated explicitly, you can go either way on the answer. I went for the semantic pedant answer for laughs rather than 2^30.​

You were one of those lucky ones who actually passed a Statistics class as well.

That's what you do when you're right and haven't been proven wrong.

But doesn’t the post say the “value” of the penny doubles everyday, not the actual penny. So after 30 days you still have one penny… its value is just more.
