    so when someone asks by dennismv 2005-01-28 00:02:13
you gonna say ... just raise 2 to 22.
do it in your own free time.
by hand.

Actually I once raised 2 to the 40th power by hand !! yes !
First, I knew 2^10, 2^20 was easy enough to calculate
I got 2^40 by doing (2^20) * (2^20). It took me a while.
That was in the days of non-graphic calculator and 8 digits max LCD screens.

Then I wanted to calculate 2^80.
I started trying it by hand, but then kinda gave up.
I later wrote a program to do just that. It actually raised 2 to any power. Then later my instructor challenged me to write a program to raise any number to any!! power. I took the challenge. :)
