    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?

                                That profile pic of yours is awesome. Every year I buy a new Habs flag and attach it to my truck and fly it all year until the Canadiens are eliminated from the playoffs.

                                      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

                                          Maple Leaf country - where the fans have two mottos August - April - "This is our year!" May - July - "We'll get em next year!" There was talk a while back of getting an NHL team in Hamilton. But the league realized that if Hamilton got a team Toronto would want one too! I could go on and on... Flames in 2007!! I'm pretty sure I would not like to live in a world in which I would never be offended. I am absolutely certain I don't want to live in a world in which you would never be offended. Dave
