Random Chess Question

64 boxes = chess each square you double::: 1 = 2 = 4 = 8 = 16

What would the number be at the 64th box?

Not really a chess question, but ah well.

What would the number be at the 64th box?

So, if i'm right in thinking this:
Box 1 would be 1
box 2 would be 2
box 3 would be 4
box 4 would be 8
etc.

Then the number in the sixty fourth (64th) box would be:
9,223,372,036,854,775,808

Am i right?

Its not really a chess question, more of a maths/logic question.

And if you are playing chess, you should be thinking at least 3 or 4 moves ahead, rather than 1 move at a time. ;)

Hmmm, i've got another result

With one special math program, i get this:



Why is 2^64 - 1? Because the first number is 1, the other is *2 every time, but now I'm thinking is 2^63 ....

Why do you need this number?
