ALL Grains on the Squares of the Rice (Wheat) and Chessboard Problem

Dear World,
A little thing and a method can lead to incredible effects. This goes for business ideas, money, as well as the spread of a virus. Exponential growth is a powerful thing. Try a little more every day. It´s worth it given enough time.
A single Rice Grain on a Chessboard that is doubled each square shows us what is possible.
I really tried to get this out on Sunday, as announced, but virtually everything that could go wrong did. Also I really underestimated that task of compiling the animation, but as I said, if you reach your goals, then your goals are set too low. ;) Anyway, sorry for the delay.

Our intuition is extremely bad at grasping exponential growth!

[ηοτιη]

I believe we can read big numbers, think big numbers and say 'wooah' but we can only really grasp its magnitude when we actually see it with our own eyes!
Great video as always!

If I could add one thing to this it would be a pile of rice representing global rice production, latest figures from 2021 tell us that 509 million tonnes of milled rice was produced globally that year. That is approximately as much as two thirds of the pile on 56th square. Also it would take the world 756 years to produce the total amount of rice on the board, given the production level in 2021.

the 64th tile rice count is just my average lunch while in grandmas house

[JordanBeagle]

1:45 Tile 45 ~ Mass of a 75 story reinforced concrete skyscaper ~ 375k tons

1:53 Tile 48 ~ Mass of the heaviest building in the world; The Palace of Parliament, Bucharest, Romania ~ 4.1M tons

2:07 Tile 55 ~ Mass of all humans ~ 500M tons

2:11 Tile 57 ~ Mass of the largest rock in the world; Uluru (Ayer's Rock) ~ 1.4B tons

2:14 Tile 59 ~ Mass of the total of amount of plastic produced by humans to date ~ 8.3B tons

2:16 Tile 60 ~ Biomass of all fungi ~ 12B tons

2:20 Tile 62 ~ Mass of sand used globally by humanity per year ~ 50B tons

2:22 Tile 63 ~ Biomass of all living organisms on Earth except plants ~ 95.8B tons

2:25 Tile 64 ~ About half of the biomass of all plants on Earth ~ 450B tons

I've read 2 myths on this.
First was a monk that created the game of chess to end a war between 2 emperors. And the monk asked for his reward to be one grain of rice on the first square and to double for each square after. Like the video shows. The emperors lost the kingdom to the monk.
The second is about a monk at the center of the universe. His task was to move 64 disks of different sizes from one post to another of three posts. But you can't put a larger on top of a smaller. When he completes this task the universe will end. Moving at one move per second the book said in about 57 billion years it all ends. I believe they're both east India myths.

By strong convention, the bottom left corner of a chess board should always be a dark square. It's been that way for 500 years since the great master Ruy Lopez, and us chess players notice it right away, and it feels deeply wrong.

[willemvandebeek]

always wondered about this, thank you for making this video

[jens]

Very interesting view! Thank you.
And with that much rice, we can feed a lot of hungry children.

[LegoMeng]

Great video dudes!
And btw that whole grain of rice could feed my whole village

[pressspanplatte]

Literally exactly what i was looking for.

[thesarkive]

holy fuck i never imagined it to be that much rice lmao I knew it was a ridiculous amount but damn

[msteerie]

thats just... thats just the final square on the board... what if all the squares were added together...

[Doraemon-of]

Great job. You've earned a ne subscriber

[Je_QzcYmN]

Would be interesting to see the biggest real stockpile of grain for comparison

[Rncko]

By the mark of 40th tile, it becomes an impossible spiral onwards.

Basically a 40 years trap in making according to the story.

[LENGTHEATER]

That's a whole lotta Mitch Hedburg dinners!!!!

[carpenterrizwan]

What a beautiful movie.
S V Rangarao's acting damn good.
Has Savathri not died, how the movie would have, ?

[paper]

this is bad rice, it does not come in thicc bags

[Mezzy..]

It's all graspable until tile 20, where all shit just hits the fan
