Description

I do not intend to crash the player. This is for educational and experimental uses. I want to test recursion to the limit and calculate Graham's number, the most legendary finite number of all. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham%27s_number http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knuth%27s_up-arrow_notation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramsey_theory To put it in perspective, you're dealing with a number so big, the number of digits it has is inconceivable, and the number of digits of the number of digits it has is still inconceivable. It is so big even the largest database in the world could not store it, and even the fastest computer could not calculate 0.1% of it by the end of this century. Just realize that it takes a lot to obtain the first iteration, so know it is working if there are 27~ items in the list.
