The 1+1=4 Project’s motto is “Double Your Influence, Change the World”. What that means is that you find a worthwhile cause, complete a simple project that helps the cause, and then recruit 2 more people to the project. When the people you recruited recruit 2 people, your influence gets doubled.<\/p>\n
Imagine you have an empty chess board. On the first square, you place a single penny. On the second square, you place 2 pennies — twice as many. On the third, you double again to 4 pennies, and so on.<\/p>\n
By the end of the first row, you will have placed 255 pennies on the board (128 on the eighth square). $2.55 isn’t much. But look at what happens on row 2.<\/p>\n
The first square gets 256 pennies. The second gets 512. The third, 1024. By the end of the second row, your total will be $655.35. That’s when things really get rolling.<\/p>\n
After 3 rows, you’re over $167,000. After 4 rows, the total is nearly $43 million — and you’re only half way across the board!<\/p>\n
When the last penny is placed on the last square, the board will hold over $184,464,259,873,280,000 — more money than exists in the entire world. If you stacked all those pennies on top of each other, they’d reach 2,420 times distance from the Sun to Pluto!<\/p>\n
Take a second to visualize that stack of pennies…if you can! Here’s a way to look at it: if the distance from the Sun to Pluto*1<\/sup> were the size of one pixel on your computer screen, the stack of pennies would reach beyond the edge of your screen — possibly even twice the width of your monitor!*2<\/sup> Look at your screen and visualize that.<\/p>\n Now you understand the power of doubling.<\/p>\n Are you willing to make a small commitment — to pay it forward to just two people? If so, you can help us change the world. Use the “Projects” menu above to find a project, or create one yourself.<\/p>\n The 1+1=4 Project’s motto is “Double Your Influence, Change the World”.
