      My guess for the largest value would be ((9! raised to 9!) raised to 9!). /ravi

          A 1: 999 As a lot of you had already figured out , the question was only three digits so cannot use factorial there. A 2: Serve mashed potatoes , a lot of you have guessed this one too

          A 1: Question was only three digits, but question should have been only three digits and digts only. A 2: I prefer Shog's answer

                      9^(9^9) = 9^81 ~= 2 * 10&77

                          I generally write all values and code with only the five digits on my right hand; using only three won't alter that very much. In fact I could just use one digit to hold down the 9 key for a while... 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 Ok, now that digit is tired.
