Best answer
If every penny I have is doubled every day, I will have $1 and 28 pennies by day 8. It will further grow beyond the $100 mark by day 15. In the next 3 days, I will be richer by a thousand bucks… Going ahead at this rate, I will be a millionaire by Day 28. To be precise, I will have $1,342,177.28, and still have TWO more days to spare to complete the month…! (Even if I started on day 1 of February of a non-leap-year, I will still have more than one-third of a million dollars more than a million dollars at end-of-month.)
2 to the power 27 for the shortest month 28 days considering day 1 is 1 penny.
