The exponential game

Here is how this works, I start out with the first entry being 1+1, then the reply of this post would be the answer to the previous plus itself. Example, the next post in this thread should be 2+2

Re: The exponential game

The correct response is:

32+32

100000 is not part of the series; it involves the number 5 somewhere along the line, and this series does not.

Re: The exponential game

Erich: Taylor's post was correct because 100000 is 32 in binary. Therefore, your two posts are identical.

Either way, for the sake of progress...

128+128.

We should all be experts at this after playing in 2007. What happens after 256, though?
