This is the old chess board problem from the Ancient World.

By the 21st day I would have given you 1,572,864 pennies or $15,728.64 . At the end of the thirty days I will have given you over $8,000,000.

I remember doing a math problem like this and if I recall correctly, by 30 days, I'll owe you a million dollars.
