Wheat and Chessboard Problem
The Wheat and Chessboard Problem is a mathematical problem with the following idea: Say that you have a chessboard in front of you. If you were to place a grain of wheat on the first square, two on the second, four on the third, eight on the fourth and so on, each time doubling the amount of grains, how many grains of wheat would you need to cover the entire board?
