    Then divide by ten, right?

    Really I did not know that multiplying two fractions smaller than 1 together now resulted in a larger number I apologize I do not keep up with the Math Picayune

    Seriously I'm so confused right now. Could you rephrase your premises in the form of a pokemon?

    3 ^ 1/3 = 1.4422495650258313877722482943279

    .... what?

    Guys seriously every n there is whatever number you are citing as the answer.
    I assume (and I guess this could be a wrong assumption) that MILF was saying take any number posted in this thread, and then applying n<sup>n</sup> to it (I also realize I quoted the wrong post in my last post, I meant to quote MILF's 2nd one). Unfortunately as n -> 0, n<sup>n</sup> approaches 1. If n is tiny, however, n<sup>1/n</sup> is, in fact, nearly 0.

    If you are interpreting MILF's statement the same way I am, no it's not. This also approaches 1, but from the opposite side that n<sup>n</sup> does.

    I probably read it wrong though.

    Wait a minute everyone stop what you are doing!

    I am retarded and did not say what I thought I was saying. I thought I was just taking a clever and more-powerful shortcut to what Keith said with the Graham's Number thing because whatever you said would be multiplied by itself (Because I forgot that <sup>n</sup> is not necessarily going to work the same way as <sup>2</sup> does).

    Sorry I'll go away and not pretend I have done any math more advanced than a grocery bill in the last eight years again.

    As a comp sci, I'll just approximate it as 0.001 and say that's good enough for most general purpose calculations.

    My first post has a number much smaller than yours.

    Red pill I assumed n was approaching infinity
