I would expect that quite a few determined children could do so. The immediate next question is "first ten powers of 2" and not to gatekeep but surely vast swathes of the commentariat here knew most of those pretty young.
- a_ghoul 5y agoI would argue that those powers of 2 are easier to commit to memory than squares up to 31 (from my experience only knowing the former).
- gugagore 5y agoPowers of 2 certainly come up more often, e.g. memory sizes before everything had GBs of RAM.
- throwaway316943 5y agoI don’t see why they should be any harder than any other type of memorization. Note that they are partially covered by knowing the times table up to 10.
- bigbillheck 5y agoWhy is '128' easier to remember than '121', '512' easier than '519', and '256' easier than, uh, '256'?
