With the limits of longevity still being pushed, I'd suggest sticking with the OP binary search theme and start at 64.

Well, round numbers will indeed make the math easier.

So 64 is absolutely perfect being 1000000 in binary, then all you need to do is go one bit a time for a binary search.

If you like round numbers, 69 is all curves.

There was something familiar about the number on the desk. The handwriting was all pretty curves.
