This number is too large to express using decimal notation. Note that it means by definition
10^(10^(10^(10^10)))

You are all WAY off.
the number is a 1 with 10^(10^(10^(10))) zeros after it. This number is a 1 with 10^(10^(10)) zeros after it. This number is a 1 with 10^10 zeros after it. This number is 1 with 10 zeros after it.
The comment about power raised to a power and multipling the exponents together fails in this case.
A case in point:
well use 3^(3^(3)) as an example...
if you just do (3^(3*3))=3^9=19,383
but if you do 3^(3^(3))=762,559,748,490
as you can see the numbers listed are way off.

When a power is raised to another power, you multiply the exponents together, which would be 10^10,000, or 1 with 10,000 zeros after it if you tried to write it all the way out, which would kinda crazy to try.
