Actually, don't laugh, but I'm trying to re-invent (for my own use only) string math! I've got the easy ones (add, subtract, multiply, still sorting out division), then looked at powers, and came unstuck. I guess I'll get there, given time.
It started out when I read the story to my Grandkids about the king who offered a prize for slaying a dragon, and the winner asked for one grain of rice, doubled, for each square on a chess board. I wanted to find how many grains that would really be, but my computer exploded (not literally).

Of all the places on Earth, and all the planets in the Universe, I'd rather live here (Perth, W.A.)
