WhoooHOOOOOOOOO! I'm there!
At 8/31/06, 11:20 AM, John said...: I'll take the million right now, live off of $200,000 for the next three years and toss the rest into a high-yield mutual fund portfolio.

At 8/31/06, 1:48 PM, John said...: Hmm. $10,737,417. I think that I'll change my answer.
At 8/31/06, 1:49 PM, John said...: Of course, Greg said that the penny would double every day. He didn't say anything about the interest doubling.
At 8/31/06, 2:16 PM, Greg Hazelrig said...: a penny doubled would be 2 tomorrow and then 4 the next day and then 8 the next and so on.
