You have one penny all day the first day!. Hasn't doubled!. It doubles on the second day, doesn't really matter what time, giving 2 pennies!. So the answer that fits that would be the correct answer!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

You are given a single penny on the first day, which is doubled over the next 29 days!.

It makes no sennse to multiply it out 30 times!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

endless because if you say you have 1 penny and then you say 2 then double that everyday so on and so forthWww@Enter-QA@Com

29 because you have to start on day 1Www@Enter-QA@Com
