That's more like it. This is reminiscent of the puzzler about the wise ass who had some king pay him a penny for the first square on a chess board and two pennies for the second, four for the next, and so on doubling the amount until the King figured out what was going on and had the guy beheaded.

You will have to wait for another nut until tomorrow, but I will off this little puzzle from another, unrelated book.

"How I need a drink, alcoholic in nature, after the tough chapters involving quantum mechanics!"
