Possessions------Sponsorship<BR>
<BR>
1----------------$0.01<BR>
2----------------$0.02<BR>
3----------------$0.04<BR>
4----------------$0.08<BR>
5----------------$0.16<BR>
<BR>

The sponsorship is doubling, so we are dealing with powers of 2.<BR>
<BR>
Is the sponsorhip the same as 2 raised to the power of the number of possessions?<BR>
<BR>
If this was the case, 3 possessions would raise 2 to the power of 3 i.e. 2X2X2 (or 8 cents).<BR>
And 4 possessions would raise 2 to the power of 4 i.e. 2X2X2X2 (or 16 cents).<BR>
<BR>
Our pattern shows us that the real sponsorship is half this.<BR>
<BR>
So, for 32 possessions, the sponsorship would be half of 2 raised to the power of 32.<BR>

The answer is $21,474,836.48 - a nice little earner! <P>
