2 to the power of 10000 is 2 to the power of 10000 obviously, what's the point of writing something that can be so elegantly (and correctly) expressed in a binary system in a decimal one ? I really don't get why he would ask something like that.

You don't normally use scientific calculators ? We've used them since grade 10 (I think, might have been 9).

It was a miniscule part of an assignment, I don't know why they wanted it more expanded.

We do usually use scientific calculators, I have misplaced my very nice one and I did not know about the one in windows.
