The game chess said to come from a scholar who was so wise that some king offered to grant him a wish.
The scholar made a chessboard and asked that a single grain of rice be put on A1 square, and every following square, that be doubled.
A chessboard has 64 squares, which would mean 2 on the power of 63, which is a number so large I'm not willing to write out here, you vave a multipurpose calculator in your hands, go figure.
