At risk of belaboring the now-obvious, note that the empty lists begin at 100000000, which is 10^8, and thus the first power of 10 evenly divisible by 2^8.
The largest value in the list for each 10^n is likewise 0 modulo 2^n. (Figuring out why the sequence has those particular multiples of 2^n is left as an exercise for the reader.) - C.
