Answers:  

Sanuj  Year 7  

33554432. Because the pattern is times by two, and I did 2 to the power of 25 (because Z is the 26th letter in the alphabet) and saying 2 to the power of, for example, 5, is the same as saying 2x2x2x2x2. So 2 to the power of 25 is 2x2x2… until you get to 25 2s and then you find the answer. 

 

Gideon  Year 8 

SMART = S + M + A + R + T = 2^18 + 2^12 + 2^0 + 2^17 + 2^19 = 921601
