Nice method! I posted a bounty. Amusingly, I had tried to brute-force for shorter expressions than mine, but missed yours because the intermediate step of 6**3=216 was above my cutoff. Searching now without cutoff, I don't find any other solutions except your other odd exponents as you note.

@RGS Playing around with the bits sounds like an accurate description. Given that I wanted to find something either shorter than n%-2%n or just as long but ending with a digit, there were actually not so many (reasonable) things to try.
