How many times have the people in this room blinked in their lives in total? Find an answer to the nearest power of 10.
Let \(x\) be the sum of digits of \(4444^{4444}\). Let \(y\) be the sum of digits of \(x\). What’s the sum of the digits of \(y\)?
Using the fact that \(\log_{10}(3)\approx0.4771\), \(\log_{10}(5)\approx0.698\) and \(\log_{10}(6)\approx0.778\) all correct to three or four decimal places (check), show that \(5\times10^{47}<3^{100}<6\times10^{47}\). How many digits does \(3^{100}\) have, and what’s its first digit?
Evaluate \(a(4,4)\) for the function \(a(m,n)\), which is defined for integers \(m,n\ge0\) by \[\begin{align*} a(0,n)&=n+1\text{, if }n\ge0;\\ a(m,0)&=a(m-1,1)\text{, if }m>0;\\ a(m,n)&=a(m-1,a(m,n-1))\text{, if }m>0\text{, and }n>0. \end{align*}\]
