In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: "Would you rather have right now ten million dollars or one penny?" Stipulate that if they take the penny, they would then get to double the amount of money they have every day for two months. In fact, tell them they can have two months with 31 days in them (like July and August), a total of 62 days. Most people will take the ten million dollars. It seems like an obvious choice! Tell them to take their time and think their decision through before giving you their final answer. Act like you think it's a tough choice to make. Your friends will probably stick with the $10 million rather than the penny that doubles in value every day for two months. The math is quite simple, but your friends will be amazed at how much even a small sum will grow by doubling every day. On a sheet of paper, begin with a single penny and multiply by two each day for 62 days:  Day 1, one penny. Day 2, multiply the amount of day 1 by 2, making 2 pennies. Day 3, multiply the amount of day 2 by 2, making 4 pennies. Day 4, multiply the amount of day 3 by 2, making 8 pennies. Day 5, multiply the amount of day 4 by 2, making 16 pennies. Day 6, multiply the amount of day 5 by 2, making 32 pennies. They'll change their mind as you keep multiplying by 2. You're going to need a calculator at some point, because by the time you get to day 31, your penny will have grown to 2,147,483,648! That's right — over 2000 million pennies. By this point you've already convinced your friends that they made a big mistake choosing the ten million dollars. You don't need to go through the math for the second month to drive the point home. Instead, jump ahead to the final amount they would have earned if they'd taken the doubling penny: a staggering 2,305,843,009,213,693,952!  That number’s so large your friends might not even know how to say it! In the U.S. the number is called 4 quintillion. The amounts you get from the calculations above tell you how many pennies you have, not how many dollars. Divide those amounts by 100 to see how many dollars you will have earned at the one- and two-month marks. It's still an amazing amount of money.
Summary: Present your friends with a seemingly simple question. Warn them, however, that it would be a mistake to take the ten million. Explain why they made the wrong choice. Keep going, even if your friends think you’re insane. Keep going into the second month. Convert pennies into dollars.

Weld a flat piece of 3/16-inch (0.5 cm) thick steel plate to the rear frame to mount your engine. Place the engine on the plate, and mark the holes for the mounting bolts so that the engine pulley lines up with the drive pulley on your axle. Attach the drive pulley on the axle prior to mounting the axle in the bushings. You can either use a set screw to hold it in position, or weld it directly to the axle, but it should be aligned with the pulley on your engine. Use the 0.5-inch (1.5 cm) steel rod for linkages, and the 0.75-inch (2 cm) for your axles. To make the 90-degree bends in the 0.75-inch (2 cm) rod, you may have to use a torch to heat the steel. Provide adjustable links for aligning steering, because it is very important to have the proper caster and camber: front-wheel vertical and steering tilt. Get some small racing wheels to give your kart the optimum acceleration and control. Fix them onto the axles with hubs and start working on the brakes, so the go-kart will be safe.  For the brakes, fix a disc onto the rear axle and a caliper assembly onto the chassis for the most professional system possible. Often, you can acquire these assemblies in relatively good shape from junked motorbikes. They're the appropriate size and will be easy to work with. Install a brake pedal to operate with your foot, regardless of what kind of acceleration you have. Don't leave too much to do with your hands other than steering. Depending upon your experience and the kind of engine you're working with, you may be able to put together a foot pedal, or you may just need to make it easy and throttle-up like you would a lawnmower. Even if you're going at relatively slow speeds, it's important to make sure you're not going to slip an axle on your first go-around. Double check your welds, your brakes, and the engine's mounting. Then take 'er for a spin!

One-sentence summary -- Install the engine mount. Assemble your steering linkage. Install the wheels and brakes. Attach the throttle cable to the hand throttle. Double check your brakes and suspension system before test-driving.
