I previously said the answer was around 15.
The answer is 16.
1=2^0, 2=2^1, 4=2^2, 8=2^3, 32768=2^15.
the next number is bigger than the number of minutes in 30 days.
You add one to 15 for 1=2^0.
First you look at how many minutes are in 30 days:
24 x 60 x 30 = 43,200
Next, you figure out what the maximum progression that falls under that:
1,2,4,8,16,32,64… etc.
Once you find the number that exceeds the total minute value you for the month, you then count the number of values that were before it, giving you your answer.
