If you're reading this, you probably have crossed with my Tinycard deck where I provide nice flashcards to help you memorize the binary code from 0 to 15 and the 2 ^ n sequence from n = 0 to n = 12 (I mean, how else would you, I don't advertise this blog in any way). Anyway, I'll start this by asking you what 8 * 7 is. What is 8 * 7? You're probably thinking 8 * 1 is 8, and that you have to increment 8  seven times until you think of the number 56. But that's quite a long process, and definitely very favorable to mistakes. So what if you could instantly say "56", without even thinking about it? Wouldn't it be satisfying to instantly "2 ^ 11 is 2048" when asked / need to know? I bet it would, and, what's more, when resolving related problems, your mind won't even think about this, and it can be occupied with something more relevant like trying to solve the actual task at hand. The same goes for instantly saying "13 in binary is
