When I was a very young boy and before I knew the meaning of exponential, I was obsessed with the numeric progression 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, etc. Such was my obsession that when I walked across the pattern on my front room carpet, or the floorboards in the hall, or the cracks in the pavement outside or by my mum’s side on the walk to school – every section I walked had to be completed in either 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 or 64 steps. My mum threatened me with a child psychologist to sort out my illness as I obviously had St. Vitus’ Dance!
