The first term of a given sequence is 1, and each successive term is the sum of all the previous terms of the sequence. What is the value of the first term which exceeds 50000?

I can start the sequence like this:

 

1, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16384, 32768, 65536......etc.

 

As you can see, the value of the term exceeding 50,000 is 65,536.
