COMMENTS

The number of closed binary operations on a set of order n. Labeled groupoids.

Contribution from Robert Munafo (mrob27(AT)gmail.com), Jan 25 2010: (Start)

The values of "googol" in base N: "10^100" in base 2 is 2^4=16; "10^100" in base 3 is 3^9=19683, etc.

This is N^^3 by the "lower-valued" (left-associative) definition of the hyper4 or tetration operator (see Munafo webpage). (End)
