      I think you should use something bigger than 8^8 because I already memorized many powers of 2, and I just found one that was something I already memorized, namely 2^24.

        @Potato2017 I've only memorized the small powers up to \(2^8\), plus \(2^{10}\) ! 🙅

                  @The-Darkin-Blade If you code (even a tiny bit), you might know that you can enter colors as three numbers: red, green, and blue. For example, the Daily Challenge / Expii purple is \( 88, 84, 104.\) And the color white is \(255, 255, 255,\) because white contains every color to its full maximum.

                  Why is the maximum value for any color equal to \(255?\) It's because computer can store \(256\) different numbers in a "byte," which is the standard storage size of a piece of data. (The maximum isn't \(256,\) but \(255,\) since \(0\) counts as the first number.)

                  A computer "byte" consists of \(8\) bits, each of which can be "on," or "off," corresponding to whether there is an electron there or not.

                  So, there are \(2^8 = \boxed{256}\) different numbers that a byte of memory can store!

                      There should be a collection of those posters all together

                        @The-Darkin-Blade Good suggestion! There is now a course index, and I'll be updating the index with these infographics as I make them.
