I removed info saying it is equal to 2^^4.

  • 4^^2 = 4^4 = 256
  • 2^^4 = 2^2^2^2 = 2^2^4 = 2^16 = 65,536

  • I'm not the one who added it, just the one who thought I corrected it. My math skils are a little rusty, but isn't it: 2^^4 = 2^2^2^2 = 2^2^4 = 2^8 = 256? Or alternately 2^2^2^2 = 4^2^2 = 16^2 = 256. --Lkseitz 19:24, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] This Number has history to it

This number, is the number of the unplayable level in PacMan, in pokemon Red and Blue, there were 256 possibilities for levels, and you could never reach 256. I think it should have something on this in the article.

Edit: Whoops it has the info on the Pacman level, info for the Pokemon thing can be found here [1]
