'65,535. The largest value possible for a 2-byte integer field.

Would you be impressed if I pointed out that 65,535 is 2 raised to the 16th power, less 1?

If not, then mine!

No, because you two just said the exact same thing! The largest value possible for a 2-byte integer field has to be the same as 2 raised to the 16th power, less 1. So that was a silly, space wasting post. Do more of them, it's 10:20 and church tomorrow, so let's get the precious now!

Mine.
