Those who understand binary and those who don't.

25. Yep. And it makes Russian peasant multiplication intuitively obvious

 105 X 37
 210 X 18
 420 X  9
 840 X  4
1680 X  2
3360 X  1
6720 X  0
3885 = 37 X 105


For Russian peasant multiplication, repeatedly double the first number and halve the second (ignoring remainder); then sum the resulting first numbers, ignoring all those for which the second number is even


      1101001 X 100101
     11010010 X  10010
    110100100 X   1001
   1101001000 X    100
  11010010000 X     10
 110100100000 X      1
1101001000000 X      0
 111100101101 = 100101 X 1101001


In the base two version, repeatedly append 0 to the first number and drop the final digit of the second; then sum the resulting first numbers, ignoring all those for which the second number ends with 0. But this is obviously just the shifts and adds of ordinary base two multiplication
