Looks like the old thread has been removed.

I'm pleased to announce my computer finished calculating 9^9^9, in only 1164199113ms.


That's 1164199.113 seconds.
Or 19,403 minutes.
Or 323 hours.
Or 13.45 days.



I'm unimpressed. :(

I don't know how or why it was removed, sorry. I found this reference in searching. Can't imagine. Maybe it can be recovered, but I don't know why it went in the first place.

It should be far more efficient to keep on squaring 9's to the max binary ... this is what the class does. Still seems shockingly slow. teliot. teliot.

Well CrystalMath and others who ran the code did it in a little over 2 hours IIRC.


Edit: the 2 hours was for the entire thing to run, (including turning the BigInt into a string, and counting the 9's in it).
