  I sometimes sit & wonder, if the questions we post here in CE's #-Link-Snipped-# section are way too tough for most of us?
  
  Or shall we start posting simple, no-brainy puzzles? Not a single try for the current puzzle?

  I think the biggest no possible is
  (((2^2)^2)^2)

  Hi,
  
  I think the largest number possible using four 2's is
  (2 ^(22 ^2)) = (approx.)4.9 *(10^145)
  
  I guess the following formula should work for largest no possible using x(as no) and y(as no of repititions)
  
  if (y>2)
  x ^((y-2)times x)^x)
  else
  y times x

  Not really,
  
  
  22[sup]2[/sup] < 2 [sup]22[/sup]
  
  So we can still go further.

  Yes Big,
  
  You are true,but what happens when we have too long value in exponential ,we get sometimes infinitely large values.So to avoid this thing,I have not taken 2 22 into account.

  Is there any number larger than 2^222 for four 2's?

  Hi Prakash,
  
  2^(22^2) > 2^222 (if we assume values to infinity are allowed)

  Hi Prakash,
  
  2^(22^2) > 2^222 (if we assume values to infinity are allowed)

  
  Also
  2^(2^22) > 2^(22^2) > 2^222 (if we assume values to infinity are allowed)

  Are we at the biggest number yet?

  Guys, the factorial operation is NOT allowed

  (2*2)/(2-2)... ha ha ha. Can someone find bigger then this...

  That is NOT defined, CB 😉
  
  But I didn't think about that 😉

  Surrendered... 😁
  
  may be 2^(2^22) is biggest...

  hello
  I Do Think That There Is Not A Specific Number Made From 2,2,2,2 Cuz 2^2>22^2>2^22>2^222 And Goes On............

  So, what's the final answer we have?

  22^22 is the answer i think.

  Please read the thread; many answers have been discussed.

  the answer which is in my mind is (2^(2^22)) or even it might be 22^22

  Savitha - have a look at earlier posts in this thread. We've discussed quite a lot already :smile:

  arsh86

  answer is (2^(2^22))
  if u hve bigger than this just show.........it
• 

  savitha_chandu

  may be the answer for this answer is 2^(2^22)😒
