Exponential Growth is an immensely powerful concept. To help us grasp it better let us use an ancient Indian chess legend as an example. The king was a big chess enthusiast and had the habit of challenging wise visitors to a game of chess. One day a traveling sage was challenged by the king. To motivate his opponent the king offered any reward that the sage could name. The sage modestly asked just for a few grains of rice in the following manner: the king was to put a single grain of rice on the first chess square and double it on every consequent one. How much rice did the chess board have...there are 64 squares in Chess board...See the comment section for answer.
