Quick simple maths question for someone

If I have say 1g of something and it doubles in size in one cycle, how much will there be after 30 cycles?

Would it just be 1 x 2^30?

If it's quick and simple why can't you figure it out?

I'm sure somebody previously mentioned creating an 'official' homework thread so they can be contained in there.

I did ask for a homework subforum so that GD remains a delightful diorama of questions about having no friends, aeroplanes on treadmills, thinly veiled racist comments and Daily Mail RSS feeds.

Gilly is right. The formula is 1X2^30

Yes...

So (1024)^3 grams - about 1073.74 tonnes.

You'll still have 1g, it'll just be a lot less dense.
