20 Golden rings
King Ratticus was coming up to his 20th birthday. He decided he wanted a special treat so
he called for Goldie, his goldsmith, who could make anything out of gold.
"Goldie, I want you to make me 20 gold rings, one for each year of my life, to fit on my
fingers and toes. Oh, and by the way, see Queen Ratticus for payment."
Goldie went away and made the 20 gold rings. He then went to see the Queen for
payment.
"Well, Goldie, they are excellent, but how much will they cost?" asked the Queen.
"My deat queen, they are not cheap!" said goldie, they are one million pounds in all.... or you could pay £1 for first ring, £2 for second,£4 for the third, £8 for the fourth and so on, doubling the cost for each ring."
"I can't afford a million pounds,"said the queen," so i will pay by the second way, it will be much cheaper!"
Was she right?
Did she save money or not?. How much did it cost her?
