  1. 1 Easy

    What letter does an exponential growth curve look like?

    Answer: J

    Why: A U, like the graph of $x^2$, rises on both sides, while an exponential curve rises only to the right and flattens out to the left.

  2. 2 Medium

    Why: That is roughly 42 times the estimated current age of the universe.

  4. 4 Easy

    Answer: 1,024

    Why: Since $2^{10}$ is close to 1,000, every further 10 doublings multiply by roughly another thousand, so 20 give about a million.

    Where does the 70 in the rule of 70 come from?
