Q:  2.21.24  10:15 am Wouldn't 27 be a double tripling? 3x3x3... so you have 3, triple it get 9, triple it again get 27. That's two triples.
A: i was expecting to hear from you. it's a "double tripling of 3", but that's not what i said. without specifying a starting root, i just said it's a "triple tripling", and so with no root specified it can be assumed that it starts from 1, which is secretly where all power-exponents start from. in case you were wondering why anything to the 0th power is actually 1
