You'll need 2 to the power of 63 coins for the last square. This number is so large that there isn't enough room on the website. The total number of coins is (2 to the power of 64) -1, which is almost twice as many For a board of N squares you need (2 to the power N) - 1 coins. As an illustration, for a 2 x 2 (or 1 x 4) board you would need 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 coins, ie 15 which is (2 to the power 4) - 1.

Ho do you prove the formula for the area of a rectangle?

Use squares and try it out for yourself. Get a number of squares and make a rectangle 3 squares long by 4 squares wide. Count the squares. You should have 12 squares (or 3*4). That's the best way I know to prove the formula.
