November 9, 2016 at 7:06 pmFrank — the story of compounding you remembered (faintly) was of the “humble servant of the emperor” who wanted to be paid a grain of rice on the first square on a checkerboard (8×8), with a DOUBLING (not squaring!) per square, i.e., 1, 2, 4… If you take your penny as start, then you exceed Ireland’s GDP in 39 squares 🙂
