I don't know how to do superscript in here, but 9 to the power of 99?

you probably mean with three digits? 9^9^9 is the "obvious candidate", but I dimply remember some better. [edit]close, 9^(9^9). Unless, of course, you allow more symbols than superscript [/edit]

turn every potato into a small heap of mashed potato, add nutmeg. At least one child will reject by smell alone. distribute the five portions among the other five, and force them to eat it, then lick the plate clean. Just for good measure. -- modified at 14:23 Tuesday 6th February, 2007

With 3 *numbers*? Give me number n, as big as you wish. I'll give you bigger number, using only 3 numbers, e.g n+0+1

Why not (99^99)^99? Or (999^999)^999? He said 3 numbers, not digits :-)

Damn, you beat me to it. Anyway, If using ^ is ok, then ! is ok as well... Still, you can do double, triple etc factorials.. so, theres 9^(9^9)!!.....! Wow, there's even Superfactorial[^]. :cool:
