Talking about being buried alive, is that even possible anymore? They could bury you with a mobile phone, or a bell, or a pager,or a very loud cat to goose so someone hears it, but even if they took you to the morgue when you were catatonic or comatose, you might get a premature embalming or cremation, but not a premature burial. Maybe at a bodyfarm in a shallow grave.
It may seem silly but I'd feel sorry for anyone who tried to mummify themselves and went through all the suffering and it didn't work. I heard another way people used to mumify themselves which started similarlly by only eating nuts and seeds, but they would take very small amounts of arsnic everyday so that they became imune, and by the last day they would've built up the amount and taken quite a lot of it so when they sealed themselves in a cave to die, no bacteria or bugs would eat at them.
@statusmh Wait a second--You're calling someone a 'fag' in the comments of a Steven Fry video??? Wow. If there's one thing worse than a whiny emo, it's clueless bigots like you.
@Nexius8 Then it is transferred by people that are infected, but not yet turned. If they travel to another continent (which they probably will, to get to safety) after being bitten, they turn into zombies when they arrive or later, spreading the virus around on another continent.
@soylentgreenb The problem involves summjng all the grains of rice. The first square has a single grain of rice and so the sum must be an odd number as all the numbers of grains on the other squares are necessarily even.
@Saitothesushi "The exact number for the last square, courtesy of wikipedia, is 18,446,744,073,709,551,615."
The exact number for the last square is 2^63. Any positive integer power of 2 must, trivially, be factorizable into a long string of 2's. In particular it must be an even number, it cannot end in a 5.
That looks like it could be the number of rice grains on the entire checkerboard, which would be 2^64-1, and must be an odd number.
@Saitothesushi@soyentgreenb I think the number given is all the rice on the chessboard, not just the last square. The first square with one grain would make the total number an odd number.
@fritspas@Saitothesushi If it was 2^64 minus 1 then the first and second squares would be 1 and 4 grains. The first and 2nd squares (one and two grains) aren't a part of the sequence.

Isn't it 2^64-1, because the first square has only one grain on it? Which would mean the answer couldn't possibly be divisible by 2.
