After her Dad's Heart

Lily recently asked me if 16+16=32. Duly impressed, I said yes and that she should tell Heather, who I knew would also be impressed. Heather then went to the next step and asked what 32+32 was. This paperless mental exercise continued in the car as follows:

16+16=32
32+32=64
64+64=128
128+128=256
256+256=512
512+512=1-24
1024+1024=2048
2048+2048=4096
4096+4096=8192

At this point, we stopped asking her what was next, since we would be hard-pressed to verify the answer ourselves without straining. Needless to say, we were impressed.
