Well done, you've just converted a lurker into a poster!

I've been here for a few days, trying to get up to speed on PXC, and couldn't resist when I saw a familiar puzzle.
Ta very much.

(Now I'd better find some more to say...)

I've just registered to the site and have received my free voucher in the email. How much is it worth and when can I use it, the site told me it wasn't activated yet.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
9 9 = 387,420,489


I had the right answer but was stumped with semantics, then was too slow. D'oh!

Twisted Evil


9^9 (9 multiplied by itself 9 times) = 387,420,489

I was trying to put that in for ages!

Did I need the commas?

I even tried 9^9 at one point...

You could say "99" is written in base squillion, gazillion, google, and so would represent a very large number. But this would not be as much fun (and I really should get back to work).

Thanks again Michael!

If I remember correctly yes, the commas were needed in the answer.
