Game 1 gives you 200 points every time you

score. Game 2 doubles your points every time you
score (2, 4, 8, and so on). In which game do you
think you will you earn more points?

Answer:

in the long run: Game 2

in the short term: Game 1

Explanation:

if you could only score once:

Game 1 = 200pts. (200*1)

Game 2 = 2pts. (2^1)

however, if u could score 12 times:

Game 1 = 2400pts. (200*12)

Game 2 = 4096pts. (2^12)
