        What is the largest possible number you can write using only 2 digits - just 2 digits, nothing else? Emphasizing that only 2 digits are used!!!! :-D Their are a few work arounds on this one, but if you follow the gindline to the riddle there is only one answer... "C++ will solve any problem."

          You never specified what base you were working in. F^F = 613 B62C 5977 07EF. ~= 4.37 *10^17. :->

                  I assumed there was a more smart arse answer. The two digits are fingers that you use to hold a pen. With two fingers you can write the symbol for infinity.

                    I'm not a native English speaker, but isn't what you're looking for an expression with two digits rather than a number?

                              1. Agreed on the profile pick! 2. Agreed on the Habs banner flying! Growing up in Northern Ontario, we had two choices for watching hockey: Habs in English, Habs in French. Go Habs!:-D

                                    What alphabet are we working in? If you go hexadecimal FF is bigger than 99, Thinking further ZZ would be bigger then FF, but maybe other alphabets have more letters :) I've found a living worth working for, but I haven't found work worth living for. :beer:

                                          You never specified what base you were working in. F^F = 613 B62C 5977 07EF. ~= 4.37 *10^17. :->

                                          And for base 37: Z^Z = (base 10) 36^36 ~= 1.06 * 10^56 As long as you can make up how to write the digits, you can increase the base, so unless you specify a base the highest possible number doesn't exist. --- b { font-weight: normal; }
