In 1944 a Hollywood publicist decided to dramatize the opening of the movie Knickerbocker Holiday by arranging a stunt in which three bottles of whiskey originally thought to have been given to the Canarsie Indians for the island of Manhattan were to have been returned to the mayor of New York City plus 8% interest, compounded annually, in bottles. To his horror just before the gala event he discovered that the compound interest on the whiskey over a period of 320 year would be more than 100 million bottles. As the agent put it "The stunt just ain't worth it." Exactly how many bottles of whiskey would need to have been given to New York City"s mayor?
