    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

              As long as you're not restricted to Base 10, in Base Infinity the answer is infinity. :)

                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.

                        Well, I can grasp a pencil between my thumb and two fingers (that's three digits!) and write any number I wish! Ha!
