    Video Summary:
    The Legend of the Rice and the Chessboard tells the story of a king who underestimated the power of exponential growth, resulting in an impossible debt of rice. The exponential function 2 to the x minus 1 describes the rapid increase in the number of rice grains per square. The king eventually pays off his debt by serving rice in the temple over time.
    - 00:02 In the town of Ambala Puza, a king accepts a challenge from a sage to a game of chess, with the sage requesting rice as a prize.
    - 01:21 The king realizes the enormity of the rice reward after calculating the grains needed for each square.
    - 02:42 The legend of Ambalapuzha describes exponential growth as the number of grains of rice per square doubles with each square on a chessboard.

      We would like to hear the story you talked about. Also we preferred to said the number of grains as 18 million, 5 hundred thousand trillion grains, we think that is more comprehendible. It roughly equals to 18 quintillion like you said.

      2^63 grains on 64th square, so total no. of grain in all squares will be 2^63 + (2^63 - 1) = 2^64 -1.
      2^64 being such a big no., one can just ignore (-1) and say the total no. of grains is 2^64.

    LOL, apartments are together is a binary math sum error. Basically, the confusing between an adjective and noun.
    Using words as nouns vs. adjectives; certainly creates argument pains. Add is the root word in adjective.
    Regular math is the foundation for algebra. Next. Algebra is the foundation for geometry.
    The branch of mathematics is concerned with the properties and relations of points, lines, surfaces, solids, and higher dimensional analogs.
    The definition of (adjective) words is bionary. The root word "add" in adjective. For example, racist is the adjective (not noun) adding two things together. One, to separate into groups, second, to make one group superior. The two adding together AKA adjective. One can see that the rules are binaries.
    LOL, let's talk geometry to cross the 64 squares with adjectives.
    The "capitalist" (adjective) is a person who believes IN capitalism, not a capitalism. This is bad grammar. The better product and services are won, and the inferior product loses. And definitely not a dog-whistle of the better person. Capitalism (noun) is about the private sector company. And the (adjective) capitalist is the person believing in (the noun) capitalism.
    On a different subject. "Communist" is not the person or company but a country. A moneyless society. Star Trex talked about a future moneyless Earth that used a federation credit system because the replicator was invented.
    On a different subject. Socialism is a banking balancing trick. Social Security implements this. This kind of banking retirement plan is socialism.
