Quote from One Grain of Rice

One Grain of Rice: A Mathematical Folktale

Long ago in India, there lived a

raja who believed that he was wise

and fair, as a raja should be.

 The people in his province were

rice farmers. The raja decreed that

everyone must give nearly all of

their rice to him.

'I will store the rice safely,' the

raja promised the people, 'so that

in time of famine, everyone will

have rice to eat, and no one will

go hungry.'
