So, one guy who goes to my school is just kinda stupid. I'm sorry, but he is. He's a nice guy, but he does things like this: Recently, he told me that he was going to do pushups every day for a month, doubling them every day, and for those of you unfamiliar of this, here it goes. This shit is 2 to the 30th power. Let me give you an idea of how huge that is. Let's pretend this guy is going to do ONE pushup on the first day, OK? Come on. Everyone can do ONE pushup. So, on the first of september, let's say, he does one pushup. On the second day of september, he does 2 pushups, for a total of 3. On the third day of september, he does 4 pushups, for a total of 7. On the fourth day of september, he does 8 pushups, for a total of 15. On the fifth day of september, he does 16 pushups for a total of 31 On the sixth day of september, he does 36 pushups for a total of 67. On the seventh day of september, he does 72 pushups for a total of 139. On the eighth day of september, he does 144 pushups for a total of 283. On the ninth day of september, he does 288 pushups for a total of 571. On the tenth day of september, he does 576 pushups for a total of 1147. You get the picture. Basically, this jackass says he's going to do 1073741824 pushups, and when I explain this to him, he says "That's stupid and wrong. I started with only one." RRRAAAGGGEEE
:what: Your friend fails Math forever.
He'll get lazy sooner or later. By the way, your avatar made me nostalgia. So very hard.

Riiiiiight

Does he have an actual mental deficiency or disorder?
You over-analyze things, chill out and let the guy do his 1073741824 push-ups.
I forget. Is it six or five eyes in the elongated "Right" that means you disbelieve the OP? The other one would probably mean that you didn't think the guy is going to do it.

Show him a flipbook animation of the :bravo: emote.
What a stud! I wish [b]my[/b] boyfriend could do 1073741824 pushups. Also, lol google ads
look on the bright side, if he manages it he will be fucking buff.

1073741824 pushups is nothing. I don't see the problem
[QUOTE=Skyhawk;20357185]:irony:[/QUOTE] hahahaha
Edit: Never mind, he's still wrong.
[QUOTE=zeebiedeebie;20357055]Everyone can do ONE pushup[/QUOTE] I can't. :frown:
Odd, I don't think 16 * 2 = 31 :eng101: You sure he's the :downs: one?
He's saying 16*2 = 36, actually. But yeah that's what I was saying with my earlier post. [QUOTE=that1dude24;20357234]I call :irony: on your :irony: The math is right.[/QUOTE] Bitch please, I know my powers of two.
What hes trying to do is impossible.
[QUOTE=that1dude24;20357234]I call :irony: on your :irony: The math is right.[/QUOTE] Wow, 16*2=32 not 38
All the days before combined any given day are 1 pushup less than than he'd do on that day. The formula for the amount you'd do on any given day is 2^(n-1). n being the day. So day 5 would be 2^(5-1) or 2^4 or 16. Any 1+2+4+8 is 15 and 15 is 1 less than 16 so I'm right. 2^(31-1) is 1 073 741 824, so by day 29 he'd have done 1 less than that number or: 1 073 741 823 Wait is he trying to do 1 073 741 824 in one day or combined over the month?
[QUOTE=Dougz;20357274]Wow, 16*2=32 not 38[/QUOTE] It said 36, not 38 [editline]04:47AM[/editline] It's still wrong though
So he isn't the brightest kid in the world, there are tons of people like him. You can't really judge the kid by his horrific math skills.
Also the point is not how bad the OP is at powers; no matter what the numbers it is still an insane amount of pushups. God dammit BANNED USER I'm changing my avatar back because it's really weird when we post near each other
This is all BANNED USERS fault, what a tool he was. Getting a picture of joker as an avatar as a different user puts a heart around the same god damn thing.
[QUOTE=sloppy_joes;20357294]All the days before combined any given day are 1 pushup less than than he'd do on that day. The formula for the amount you'd do on any given day is 2^(n-1). n being the day. <maths>[/QUOTE] He said he was doubling the number he did every day, not applying the current day to a formula of 2^(n-1). Your post is irrelevant. :smug:
Amazing how many people can't even multiply by 2 in this thread. Really says a lot about FP.
[QUOTE=Skyhawk;20357359]He said he was doubling the number he did every day, not applying the current day to a formula of 2^(n-1). Your post is irrelevant. :smug:[/QUOTE] However he can figure out how many he needs to do in a given day by using that formula. On day 30 he does 536870912 push ups or 22369621.3 an hour or 372827.022 a minute or 6213.7837 a second Assuming he doesn't stop at all. Totally possible
