    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."

    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; }
