This is surreal reading that this was 10 years ago - I'm sure we came across eachother on Facepunch back in the day and I remember all of the amusing threads. Congrats on this landmark.

Question: why does it start at 2 instead of at 1?

The powers of 1 are less interesting.

2^0 is 1. The game doubles the number each time, so starting with two 1s would make a 2. It's weird to start with two 2s making a 4.
