" think from memory that means 10 to the power of 53 or 54. so 1 with 53 or 54 zero's after it or a dayum lot of spuds"

kroner wrote:there's that story where a man gets one wish from the emperor (i don't remember why) and he asks for a single grain of rice on the first square of a chess board and then double that on the next and double the previous on the next, up to the last square. the emperor finds there is not enough rice in the world.

well, the number of grams of potatoes that fell, 18446744073709551615 or 2^64 - 1, is exactly the number of grains of rice there would be on that chess board. odd.


Interesting there isn't enough rice but there sure is enough potatoes. Maybe we should see if the man will take them in potatoes instead. :twisted:

The version of the rice-and-chessboard story I hear most often is that the man in question was the inventor of the game of chess. Almost certainly apocryphal, but a nice math story.

I don't know that it's odd... I assume Cantr uses 64 bits to store resource amounts. Presumably the absurdly huge number was simply replaced by the maximum amount that could be stored, which would then naturally be 2^64 - 1.

I thought there was a maximum amount in every project?

I think that is a new feature to prevent things like this from happening.

This topic needs to die.
