  I love powers of two!

  These “numbers” are groups of four from the series:
  1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256 512 1024 2048 …

  So the next “number” is actually the next group of four digits which is 5121
  (then 0242)

  Brent you are today’s winner!
  Regrouping the series as 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, and 256, the next two terms in this series are 512 and 1024. The answer to the question is 5121.
