Are you totally certain about that?

Now that I'm home I tried 2 <ENTER> 62 <y^x> and got 4.61168601843E+18

Using 2 <ENTER> 63 <y^x> I get 9.22337203696E+18

Sitting down and starting with 1 <ENTER> then doing 2 <X> 63 more times I get the 9.22.... answer.

(the &#177;1 is irrelovent since it's not the "sum of", only the "amount on" the last square)

The question now is: What kind of calculator am I using? :-)

You half to add the first two squares as 1+2 then 2X2+2X2X2+ and so on for 60 more times.
