Book: One Grain Of Rice: A Mathematical Folktale Long ago in India, there lived a raja who believed that he was wise and fair. But every year he kept nearly all the people's rice for himself. Then a village girl named Rani devises a clever plan, using the surprising power of doubling to win more than one billion grains of rice from the raja.
A village girl outsmarts a selfish king by asking him to double a portion of rice every day for 30 days in order to feed the hungry.
