==Puzzle==<br />
<br />
100 of the dimmest bank robbers recently broke in to the Denver Mint and made off with a truck-load of fresh new pennies. To divvy up their loot, they decide that the youngest thief will get 1% of the score, then the 2nd youngest will get 2% of what is left, the third youngest getting 3% of what is left after that, and so on, until the oldest (100th youngest) gets 100% of what is left after everyone has taken their share. <br />
<br />
Which thief receives the largest share? Further, what is the least amount of money he will leave with, assuming no rounding occurs while splitting the take?</div>Oscarlevin
