Personal Comment: This is crazy order.
King's orders Enigma
What we know: A king ordered his servant to collect an army from 30 manors in such a way that from each manor he would take the same number of men as the total of men he has already collected up to then. The servant went alone to the first manor.
Enigma: Assuming the servant was included into the army, how many men would the king have if the servant went to 30 manors?
Solution: The numbers of increase is: 2, 4, 8, 16... And so, on leaving the 30th manor, he should have collected 1073741824 = 230
See who got this right
