2, 4, 8, 16 ,32 ,64 ,128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16384, 32768, 65536, etc.

Does anyone else here do doubles like this in their head all the friggin' time?!? Ironically i'm NLD and have discalcula and suck at math. I hate the number 1 it really freaks me out.

I'm also into computers and hear the numbers frequently, but do double them when I have nothing better to do... I enjoy working out Fibonacci(1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,etc.)more though.

I get those numbers stuck in my head all the time too but it never happened until I really got into computers which totally explains why. Therefore, I don't think it's anything to worry about.

No. Sometimes I do cubes and powers of three.
