At 11pm, there is only one bacteria in a jar. At 12 midnight (one hour later), the jar is completely filled with bacteria. If the bacteria is able to double itself every 1 minute, when is the jar half filled with bacteria? (it's obviously not 1130pm!)

If you don't know the answer within 5 seconds, you should proceed to watch this series of video by Dr Albert Bartlett, who will give you a thorough explanation on the power of the exponential function!

Then apply this to the current monetary system and you will know why there is trouble heading our way!

BTW, for the maths people, e^x alone is powerful enough to be itself no matter how you differentiate or integrate it! agree? :P

It's actually kinda funny that some people would think it's 11:30 pm...
