The Twenty-Ninth Day: Accommodating Human Needs and Numbers to the Earth's Resources
Brown, Lester R. (Earth Policy Institute)
A lily pond, so the French riddle goes, contains a single leaf. Each day the number of leaves doubles—two leaves the second day, four the third, eight the fourth, and so on. Question: If the pond is completely full on the thirtieth day, when is it half full? Answer: On the twenty-ninth day.
