I've been living without powers for a long time. Now I can prove that my math textbook is stupid :D It claims that 2 raised to the power of 2, 6 times, is impossible to calculate, even with a supercomputer, because it's so huge. (note that the text book is 10 years old)

Argh no!! It's a frickin' float! Only took 1 millisecond though :D
