A Grain of Rice

If you find time to ask your parents a question start out with this one.  In class you may recall we used Demi's book A Grain of Rice to illustrate our proposal.

I will offer you $1,000,000.00 right now. No questions to do what you want with.

OR

I will give you one penny today and each day for the next thirty days I will double the total you had the day before.

A tough question I know, but talk about it before you jump right into the calculations.  What did Rani do?  What did the Raja think about her offer on day one?  What influenced your decision?
