it could've rounded down, plus the time difference between the two messages (little over 2 and a half years) means even less people would've gotten that far

The fact that getting 24 answers, or going all the way to 8 million, in only one minute, only gives you 4 points, really makes me think that people are either cheating or real, real smart-asses.

Well, you level up from doing featured quizzes, and it requires more points to level up every level. Thus, over time, it's overall harder to level up as fast as before.

speaking for myself here- learned abacus as a kid and now my mental math is crazy! if i were younger, i'm pretty sure i could've gotten even higher (i made it to 2^24 on first try).

also, powers of 2 is not the hardest multiplication out there lol. though i'm sure there are some who cheat anyway.

Is the hint really necessary? If you didn't know what "Powers of 2" meant, then you probably weren't likely to take the quiz in the first place.

Hey... I knew what 'powers of 2' meant but I would have been doing (2 x 2 x 2) instead of (4+4) which appeared to be faster. So the hint did infact help.

I got only 11 answers correct but it could have been much worse.

Holy crap, nobody's gotten all of them yet! I feel tempted to cheat and be the first, but I love numbers too much to cheat on them. So, I shall leave it up to someone else to do it for me.

You should remove everything above 2^26 since nobody can type that fast.

If you started with one penny and doubled it every consecutive day, you would have £1,000 by day 18, £1,000,000 by day 28 and £1,000,000,000 by day 38.

I will do likewise, to get to 2^20. Then in the future retake this quiz as I do on other quizes, to repeat the same score.

My level has restrictions on making picture quizes. I learn a lot. I also forget a lot. There may be some irony here in that I make memory systems.

None-the-less congrats and practice is not cheating.

I know them, but the time simply isn't enough to type that fast.

If the yellow box were eliminated, people could type the highest numbers first, if they want.
