Big O, 2ⁿ

This user earned the Two to the N achievement

by attempting to reach 2^{{{count}}} hashpoints on [[{{{date}}} ]] and is promoted to Level {{{count}}} (Expeditions).

Geohashing lacked achievements for numbers of expeditions and for numbers of co-ordinates reached - until now.

In the spirit of geohashing (nerdy fun) award yourself this ribbon when you set out on your 2^{N th} expedition, giving yourself some "Big Oh" notation.

This award can equally apply to a graticule. Put a link to your graticule page into the "name" field.

There are versions for ...

Global expeditions

How the counting works ...

2⁰: Claim this for your first expedition.
2¹: Claim this for your second expedition.
2⁴: 16 expeditions - addiction risk.
2⁸: Wow - 256 expeditions! At the time of writing two geohashers have achieved this.
2⁹: At the time of writing NWoodruff is the closest needing only 26 expeditions. Is that a challenge by any chance? Achieved 2017-09-19 by NWoodruff

It's very easy for beginners to claim "Levels" progressing quickly from "Level 0" to "Level 3" so it's hardly worth claiming the ribbon unless its a global hash. "Level 4" and above get more interesting and disproportionately harder to achieve.

If you'd like a nerdy ribbon for your 100th expedition, you can set N to 6.64385618977472 or just use the gratuitous ribbon.
