Just for the record: I don't think your computer is able to compute 2^(2^30).
Certainly not at the moment (not with memory loads the way they are now).
Oh, you know, there are always some ways to increase the work efficiency. For example, a long time ago, in Soviet Union, they discovered that one guy, Stakhanov, worked 24 hours per day. And could participate in the Party meetings. So, they asked him: "Comrade, how can you do that?!" And he answered: "It is very simple, I just get up one hour earlier". So, switch your computer earlier, and you will be able to compute 2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^2^ (right assoc.) as well. Jerzy Karczmarczuk
