Yea

You know the rules: don't cheese by +1ing or similar from other people's stuff once we get to big stuff; that is, no trivial/naive extensions

Computable functions only (sorry test)

Discussion is allowed; try to post a larger number that the numbers posted previously

No absolutely massive jumps please (you know who you are)

Finite nonnegative integers only.


I'll start: 0

(A similar competition was held on the eggscaked forums)

feel free to develop your own large number notation over multiple posts totally not gonna try to extend ASEN

no notations that aren't yours past up-arrows

Is Avogadro's number too big?

*shrugs*

10^50

3!!!

Or ((3!)!)! to prevent potential semifactorial ambiguity

I don't know any googology; I will learn through this game.

Sorry, but 2↑↑↑2 (4) is less than 2^2^2^2^2 (2.003e+19728). Try another number.

What does 2↑↑↑2 mean? Where can I find an online calculator to calculate googology numbers?

I have trouble understanding it myself.

I seems to understand it now. Thanks for the link.

Arrow notation is a generalization of exponentation. a↑b is standard exponentation. a↑↑b is a number "exponent" itself b times, just like exponentation is a number multiplied itself b times. a↑↑↑b is a number ↑↑ itself b times.

Anyway, here is my submission:
2^86243-1 (5.369e+25961)

2^^6 (sorry, quite a jump)

my submission is pi without the dot...

That isn't even an real number, literally.

ok the probability of winning a 50 ball lottery 2^^6 times straight

does that count as a cheese?

too early to count as a cheese

2^^8 (2^^7 is smaller)
