@@ End of Day Wrap - Friday 20/6/14 Sydney, Australia Time 1:10am (Saturday morning really)
Great answers were provided to day by CPhill, Rosala, Alan, Zegroes, Reinout-g, Rom, Kitty<3, jboy314, MacGamer04 and NinjaDevo.
jboy314 only just became a member in the last day or so. CPhill and I are both really impressed with the answers that you have already given. Keep up the good work.
Welcome to web2.0calc forum jboy314. We hope you continue to write great answers. We also hope that you have fun and learn lots.
As many of you know, NinjaDevo has made an improved version of our Sticky Thread "Information Pages worth Keeping or Developing" The presentation looks fabulous. Ninja says he has included (almost) all the information that was in the old one. I have been intending to check it out properly but I can see the only way that is going to happen is if I put it up properly for people to use. Ninja has included the address of the old version on the first page so if anything is missing it can still be easily found. I used the old version of this thread quite heavily. I don't know if other people did or not. I really encourage you to see what is there and to make full use of it. If you want to add your own information/comment page that is encouraged (you only need one, you can edit it if you want to add things) Please respect the fact that it is a serious thread and treat it with respect. Thank you very much Ninja for doing this for us!
I nearly forgot to include the posts!

I really like the way Chris (CPhill) explained this one.
http://web2.0calc.com/questions/how-do-you-do-a-question-like-this-43-7-is-32-percent-of-what
This is a revolving question - But it always has appeal.
How do I remember my times tables?

Oh I have a picture especially for Chris (CPhill). He was commenting on how hot it is in Louisiana at this time of year.
That is it for the day. Enjoy what is left of yours.
Thank you,

$${{\mathtt{2}}}^{{\mathtt{63}}} = {\mathtt{9\,223\,372\,036\,854\,775\,808}}$$ GRAINS.
(And that is just on the last square - it is NOT the total of all the rice grains)
THAT IS A LOT OF RICE!!!
A grain of rice is approximately .2 inches long. Converting .2 inches to feet (divide by 12 inches to a foot) and then dividing that number by 5,280 feet in one mile, we get the length of the grains of rice, placed end-to-end, to be approximately 60,000,000,000,000 miles. How far is that? Alpha Centauri, the nearest star, is located 25,000,000,000,000 miles from Earth. Placed end to end, these grains of rice would reach farther than from the Earth, across space to the nearest star, Alpha Centauri, and back to Earth again!
