My google image search showed that most horse shoes take 6 nails. So Imma say $3 for the 24 nails needed.

Thanks glatt. I'll say the total cost is 2^(n-1), where n = 6*4, for a total cost of $83,886.08

Close, 8 nails is more common, re-figure.

Ok, revised to: total cost is 2^(n-1), where n = 8*4, for a total cost of $21,474,836.48

"four for the third"
I missed that part. It's exponential, and my answer is way off the mark. It's not in the same ball park, and not even in the same city. $3, hah! |

Don't forget that you have to add up the price for all the individual nails. So your calculation is correct for finding the price of the final nail. I don't remember if there is a formula for doing a sum of numerous equations. There must be, and I just can't remember it.
When I break out my calculator and do a tedious 3 minutes of punching numbers in, I get a total of $42,949,652.95 |
