You place one grain of rice on the first square of a chess board. You then put two on the second,

four on the third, eight on the fourth, and so on until you've reached the sixty-fourth square.
If Scrooge McDuck bought five-pound bags of enriched white rice from Walmart, could he afford

Maybe how to solve is 8*8=64. and 2 1/2 in one pound of rice so 2 1/2 * 5 equals the total amount of rice you get. Equals 12.50.
