There is a story about a guy who got a wish from a king or something. He said he wanted a grain of rice on a chessboard and double it on every square. The king didn't exect much of it and the guy got a shit ton of rice.

I think he got killed for being a douche.

It doesn't really make sense from the picture, because the grains just grow randomly insted of exponentially

Not randomly, they keep doubling

Yeah, it's just along the diagnols.

What kind of psycho would run it along the diagonals?
