Not bad. But you're off by a factor of four. You start with one dollar, not two, and the first square is already taken up by the $1, so you only do it 63 times. i.e. you have $2 on the second square and double it 62 more times. How many percent would that be? ;>

Hi Tulvio

I see you're back from the Jmarians. I've been lurking over there.

Back to school it's 2 to 63 power. You used one when you doubled 1.

Edit: So I am wrong too. 2 to 62 power it is.

More power to you Klaus B. Biggers!
