نرى ان يكون اول الموضوعات العربية في الموقع حسابيا  بحتا لعشاق التكتيك وعلى رأسهم اللاعب بدر الهاجري و احمدعمادالدين  ومن بريدي الألكتروني اقتبس بتصرف حكاية اليوم
لو حضر لك اللاعب الوسيم ناصر مقصيد

 وعرض عليك تأجير سيارتة الفاخرة جدا  (بوغاتي) لمدة شهر .

وقال لك ادفع لي المبلغ على شكل أقساط يومية 

اليوم الأول دولار واحد فقط لا غير 

واليوم الثاني ضعف الأول يعني 2دولار 

واليوم الثالث ضعف اللي قبله يعني أربعة دولار 

واليوم الرابع ………… ……….

وهكذا حتى تكتمل ثلاثين يوم .  فما هو رأيك ؟ توافق ؟
قد يبدو العرض مغري !!؟

——————————————————————————————————–

بأعادة مقارنة السؤال السابق  بقصة الفارس الذي لعب الشطرنج مع ملك من ملوك إنجلترا و اشترط عليه إذا غلبه أن يضع له في كل مربع من مربعات الشطرنج والذي يبلغ عدده 64 مربع حبة قمح في المربع الأول ثم يضاعفها حتى آخر مربع
 
ضحك الملك مستهيناً بطلبه و لكنه ندم عليه بعد أن هُزم فما استطاع الوفاء به وهو ملك المملكة التي لا تغيب عنها الشمس في ذلك الزمان فقد كان هذا الرقم الطويل 
9 . 223 . 372 . 036 . 854 . 780.000 
الرقم كتابة
  تسع كوينتلين ومائتان و ثلاثة وعشرين كوادرلين وثلاثمائة و اثنان وسبعون تريليون وستة وثلاثون بليون و ثمانمائة و أربعة وخمسين مليون وسبعمائة و ثمانون ألف حبة قمح 
أي ملايين الأطنان من القمح و هذا يفوق كل مخزون إنكلترا من القمح في ذلك الوقت

——————————————————————————————————–

بالعوده لجواب السؤال اعلاه نجد الأجابة الصحيحه : يا ناصر خلي سيارتك  لنفسك  لو امتلكت المبلغ لأشتريتها بنفسي !
اليوم الأول ندفع دولار فقط
اليوم الخامس ندفع 16 دولار فقط
اليوم العاشر ندفع 512 دولار فقط
اليوم الخامس عشر ندفع 16384 دولار فقط
وبحلول اليوم الثلاثين يصل المبلغ
 $   1073741823  !

بناء عليه شكرا ناصر  لا نريدها !
