Seems like splitting hairs and intentionally misreading "digits" in a sense different from the dictionary one.
And for that matter, the kid was wrong. Consider 9 -> 9 -> 9 in chained arrow notation, for instance - it's WAAAAAAAAY bigger than the exponent tower...
- dalke 11y agoThat requires an arrow. It's possible to beat (9⁹)⁹ using tetration notation and no symbols other than 9. ⁹9 is 9^(9^(9^(9^(9^(9^(9^(9^9))))))), which is rather larger than (9⁹)⁹. ⁹(⁹9) is just icing on the cake. I'm almost certain the story is a fake.
