    So you actually thought exponential growth, which is 9th grade math, was a fancy pants intellectual topic?

    It doesn't take any math skill whatsoever to raise 2 to the 50th power on a calculator.

    I was strictly a B student in high school and college math, so I have no claims to being a math geek expert.

    There should be a calculator on your smart phone.

    I always tried to avoid any chemical impairment of my mind. I even gave up caffeine when I realized I had developed a chemical dependency !
