The Doubling Challenge

Welcome to the start of my journey.....

I've just finished reading an article by Stuart Goldsmith called 'How to Double your way to a MILLION'.
I thought it sounded like an interesting challenge, and you never know, if I manage to make it, I'll be a happy man!

The challenge basics are, start off with a penny. Somehow, double it to 2p, double to 4p, etc until you get to £1,000,000......... How hard can it be?

There's a total of 28 steps, detailed below.

Step 1 - find 1p
Step 2 - 1p - 2p
Step 3 - 2p - 4p
Step 4 - 4p - 8p
Step 5 - 8p - 16p
Step 6 - 16p - 32p
Step 7 - 32p - 64p
Step 8 - 64p - £1.28
Step 9 - £1.28 - £2.56
Step 10 - £2.56 - £5.12
Step 11 - £5 - £10
Step 12 - £10 - £20

Step 23 - £20,000 - £40,000
