This is pretty simple:

You need to come up with the biggest number you possibly can, using ONLY ten characters. (or less, I suppose...) You can use any characters you want. You cannot use limits or infinity, or anything "conceptual". Just numbers and operators. Basically... find an expression that results in the biggest possible number.

i.e. 2 + 4(8 - 3) would count as 8 characters.

if you use exponents, since we can't make the small superscript digits then they should be noted as, for example, 2^2 and would then count as 3 characters.





 
There's bound to be a definite, unbeatable answer but the problem I run into is getting these extremely large numbers and trying to evaluate them. I honestly don't know who's got the highest so far. How does one compare numbers like this?

I'll see if I can simply find a link explaining the size of that number.
