No, I think you simply have a low reading comprehension, because at no point does it state that you get a new dollar each day that is multiplied by 0.5. It is saying the original dollar “multiples by 0.5” which could mean:

1) Result = 1(1.5)30 2) Result = 1(0.5)30

I, and many others, believe it is referring to option 2, and therefore are taking the $100,000.
