n ancient times there lived a poor, but smart, rice farmer in a rich kingdom.
One day, the wise king proclaimed that he will give half his kingdom to anyone who could come with a puzzle or riddle that he could not solve.
So the rice farmer submitted the following to the king.
On a chess board, he asked the king to fill each square with rice grains in the following matter:
1 rice grains for the first square
2 rice grains for the second square
4 rice grains for the third square
and continue the pattern until reaching the last square.
In class we decided that the last square would have 2 raised to the 63rd power rice grains.

The extra credit involves 2 parts, each worth 5 points:
1. Write out the name of the number 2 raised to the 63rd power.
2. Write out the name of the number representing the total sum of the number of rice grains on the chess.

For example, the name of 123 is one hundred twenty three.

Hint: Use a mathematical program to find the sum and then use the internet to find the name of large numbers.
 
well i think what u got there is the mathmaticle symbol, and my favorite pain in the ass, E. dont know the amount as its a crap load but im pretty sure its e so thats a start for whoevers after me
 
What more do you need?
For the first one figure out what 2 to the 63 power is and then write it out.
for the second one you will need to add up
2 to the 63rd power
2 to the 62nd power
2 to the 61st power and so on down to
2 squared
2 and
1
and then write out the name of the number, which will be huge.

Best of luck
