Clean powers like that are less common, but it's not really a fun gimmick per se.

It is if you're a math freak like me.

Being a math freak would be a reason clean powers like that are N0T fun. They're just powers, whereas something like 219978 has the interesting property that when multiplied by 4, it mirrors.

Actually, that's not as interesting as clean powers.

But you can easily find them by just, you know, repeatedly multiplying some number. That's like calling the places directly North, South, East and West of me more interesting than elusive ones because they fall into a distinct, predictable pattern.

I doubt that. If I travel exactly 50 miles south and see where I was, I'd be like "I'm on the same latitude as our house? That's interesting."

That's exactly what I mean. How is doing something predictable and getting the exact expected result entertaining in the slightest? XD



Aaaaand I just thought back to our talk about Pokémon. Carry on. X3

Getting a number that is mirrored when you multiply it by 4 is expected when you do it with 219978. So that would be boring too. If you walked one mile to the west and then one mile to the south, both the latitude and the longitude are different. Who could've guessed.

The fun isn't in the process--the process is literally just one step of multiplication--the fun is in the pattern it makes.

Well then, in the same way the pattern of 2^x is interesting for me.
