    A finger on my hand? If it's a neg. integer it's one that's been amputated.

        Let me guess, you stuck a finger in the breech of your M16 and lost the end of it?

          You made this too easy. By the way isn't it like 4 o'clock in the morning there ?

              5.00am, but I am temporally out of kilter, I slept have the afternoon away and am wide awake. I shall try too drift off again so as not to screw my internal clock for work tomorrow.

                To lose one finger could be considered unfortunate...blah blah blah. Had you not considered sticking a twig in there instead? I have seen many a lost finger on old sweats (experienced soldiers), who ought to know better!

                  I am at work. Have an app to deliver on Tuesday, and of course feature creep has crept in and so am trying to finish up. :(

                      I don't know what's worse...posing a "brain tester" on a Saturday night, or trying to figure it out on a Saturday night.

                                      For the compiler on my 32 bit machine, WORD is an unsigned short. So it would be: pow(2, 11*2*8), i.e., pow(2, 176) = 2 raised to the power of 176
