2001 AMC 8 Problem 17
For the game show *Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?*, the dollar values of each question are shown in the following table (where K = 1000).
\begin{array}{rccccccccccccccc} \text{Question} & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10 & 11 & 12 & 13 & 14 & 15 \\ \text{Value} & 100 & 200 & 300 & 500 & 1\text{K} & 2\text{K} & 4\text{K} & 8\text{K} & 16\text{K} & 32\text{K} & 64\text{K} & 125\text{K} & 250\text{K} & 500\text{K} & 1000\text{K} \end{array}
Between which two questions is the percent increase of the value the smallest?
\text{(A)}\ \text{From 1 to 2} \qquad \text{(B)}\ \text{From 2 to 3} \qquad \text{(C)}\ \text{From 3 to 4} \qquad \text{(D)}\ \text{From 11 to 12} \qquad \text{(E)}\ \text{From 14 to 15}
