''No,just rice,''replied the old man.
The king and the old man played the game for a long time.Finally,the old man won.So the king ordered his men to collect a bag of rice.He put one grain on the first square ,two on the second,and so on.The king quickly realized the problem-even with all the rice in the country,he would still not have enough rice to put on all the squares!
