That vintage calculator looked pretty Sharp.
ok enough of the dad jokes!
Badumm tisssss
That was good. I heard something similar years ago about a chessboard. One grain of wheat on the first square and doubling each time. By the end, the man took the entire kingdom from the King.
I'm pretty sure the Curiosity Show did this as a segment too!
The Ancient Chinese version of this same "trickery with exponentials" is about a wiseman tricking a rich emperor with grains of rice. The story goes as follows...
The Emperor asked the wiseman to build him a storage house to store his estate's rice harvest. The wiseman complied and in return he asked only for a single grain of rice that doubles in number for 100 days... and you probably guessed what happens next.
Calculate it. You'll find he demanded quite a lot more than just the entire kingdom.
Ah well, knowing Kings, he probably just got executed...🤣
From the thumbnail, I thought this was going to be about the puzzle where you cut a horseshoe into six pieces using only two straight lines. I'm sure there's a segment on it somewhere.
Two diagonal lines that mirror each other can cut it into six pieces, btw.
The big question here is...how did the Blacksmith got his hands on a calculator, hundreds of years ago?
abacus lol
That's why he was so poor: he bought a time machine, traveled to the 1980s, bought a calculator, then came back.
@@U014B yeap. And he used the money he got from the horseshoe trick to fund the time machine!
Black magic
Then you use the formula for a geometric series summation: (1-r^n)/(1-r) = (1 - 2^24)/(1-2) = 16777215 cents.
In all the years I used a calculator nobody told me what use the M button is for
until today. Mind thoroughly blown!
That's why calculators have manuals.
Any programmer ought to know this.
0:56 2:41 them sound effects!
And thus the blacksmith was stabbed and the naval man got the horseshoes for "free" :P
What would a naval man need a horse for?
@@Aurochhunter Obviously for his seahorses.
@@sweatygenius Wow... that's honestly one of the best replies ever. Not even kidding! 👏👏
@@89horizon right, he needs more likes
@@sweatygenius you win the internet today, sir!
My guess:
((2^23)+1)/100= $83'886.09
Guess I forgot to calculate the rest... Hmm I wonder if this is a factoral calculation.
I remember this from my schooldays over 60 years ago 🧐

i wonder if the bill was paid lol
sum = (2 ^ 25) - 1
2 + 2 = xD
