Answer A: Can we add without using addition?

Comment Post #278638 I'm confused how this answers the question of the pattern of digits. You only use the fact that x = 1/19 in your answer and don't explain what the significance of the powers of n is. (Or maybe my reading comprehension skills are poor...)
