    No additional terms up to 2^(10^10). – Michael S. Branicky, Apr 16 2023

    How did he do this?

    This is remarkable! I always find it fascinating that simple to express properties lack a proof. This is a very simple thing to evaluate and seems like it should be straightforward to establish that 2048 is the highest such power.

    Somehow I missed the title and wondered what the fuck was going on…

    2, 4, 8, 64, 2048 are powers of 2 (i.e. 2^n), and they don't contain odd numbers (e.g. 16, 128, 1024 contain 1 so are not in this list, same with 4096 containing 9).

    The base 2 list is even shorter.

    0^2 is even

    Please fix. You're welcome.

    Edit: I see its NOT (x)^2 although its worded as it is

    How many powers of 2 have just a single even digit? 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 512…

    It might be finite, but it also has a "fast growing sequence" kind of smell too.
