| Video Discription | What is the value of this infinite exponent tower? See my follow-up video about a potential paradox 4 = 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmP3sFIZ0XE I was asked this problem in a high school math competition, and you had to solve it as fast as possible. Hence I made a short 1 minute video showing this trick. For those wanting a proof suitable for a graduate level real analysis course (which is the only way to rigorously approach this problem), here are references. Award winning paper Knoebel, R. Arthur.
