    If I were to offer you 1 penny to clean my entire house. Would you do it?
    No?
    What if I extended that offer into a 31 day contract for which I would double your pay each day for each of the 31 days. 1›...2›...4›...8› etc.
    Would you do it now?

    I don't like cleaning but over 200 million pounds for a months work wouldn't be bad.

    How about you don't fúckin' post them? Seriously, After Hours would be more suitable. Even Science...

    For gawds' sake, learn to string a proper sentence together and stop spewing nonsense.

    This is a humour board. For posts that are humourous, see? It's hardly the most suitable board for mathematical riddles.

    I don't mind reading them either, Lucifer, but a system exists for the placement of posts and it should be followed.

    Beaver will you please leave it out - if someone's posting off-topic, I'll be the judge and I'll move it, otherwise, if you don't have a constructive comment to make, don't make any.

    Riddles like this are done for the laugh - a way to waste a few minutes of your time and what better place than the Humour board as that's why a lot of people visit here.
