No Calculators Allowed

Without using a calculator, what is 2 to the 12th power?



This is a quick weed out question to differentiate the tech types from the non-tech people. Every programmer should be able to start reciting: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096.

4096.

Programmers should know that 2^10 = 1024

1024 bytes make a KB
1024 KB make a MB
1024 MB make a GB
and so on
