1. [a in triangle] = a[3] = a^a
* n[3] = n^n
* n[3]2 = n[3][3] = n[3]^n[3] = (n^n)^(n^n)
* n[3]3 = n[3]2[3] = n[3]2^n[3]2 = ((n^n)^(n^n))^((n^n)^(n^n))
* n[3]4 = n[3]3[3] = n[3]3^n[3]3 = (((n^n)^(n^n))^((n^n)^(n^n)))^(((n^n)^(n^n))^((n^n)^(n^n)))
* n[3]k = (...(n^n)^(n^n)...)^...^(...(n^n)^(n^n)...)[2k terms]
* 2[3] = 2^2 = 4
* 2[3]2 = 2[3]^2[3] = 4^4 = 256
* 2[3]3 = 2[3]2^22[3] = 256^256 = 10616.509...
* 2[3]4 = 2[3]3^23[3] = 10616.509...^10616.509... = 10616.509... x 10616.509... = 1010619.3...
* 2[3]5 = 2[3]4^2[3]4 = 1010619.3...^1010619.3...
* etc..
* 3[3] = 3^3 = 27
* 3[3]2 = 3[3]^3[3] = 27^27 = 443426488243037769948249630619149892803 = 1038.646...
* 3[3]3 = 3[3]2^3[3]2 = 1038.646...^1038.646... = 101040.23...
* etc...
* 4[3] = 4^4 = 2[3]^2[3] = 2[3][3] = 2[3]2
* 4[3]2 = 4[3][3] = 2[3]2[3] = 2[3]3
* 4[3]3 = 4[3]2[3] = 2[3]3[3] = 2[3]4
* 4[3]k = 2[3]k+1
2. [a in square] = a[4] = a[3]a
* n[4] = n[3]n = (...(n^n)^(n^n)...)^...^(...(n^n)^(n^n)...)[2n terms]
* 2[4] = 2[3]2 = 256
* 2[4]2 = 2[4][4] = 256[4] = 256[3]256
* 2[4]3 = 2[4]2[4] = 256[3]256[4] = 256[3]256[3]256[3]256
* etc...
* 3[4] = 3[3]3 = 3[3]2^3[3]2 = (27^27)^(27^27)
* 3[4]2 = 3[3]3[4] = (3[3]2^3[3]2)[4] = ((27^27)^(27^27))[4]
= ((27^27)^(27^27))[3](27^27)^(27^27)
* etc...
* 4[4] = 4[3]4 = 2[3]5
* etc...
3. [a in pentagon] = a[5] = a[4]a
* 2[5] = Steinhaus' Mega = 2[4]2 = 2[3]2[4] = (2^2)[3][4] = (4^4)[4] = 256[3]256
* A polygon with 2[5] sides is a Megagon. It looks pretty circular if drawn!
* 2[5]2 = 2[5][5] = 2[4]2 = 256[3]256[5]
* 3[5] = 3[4]3 = ((27^27)^(27^27))[3](27^27)^(27^27)[4]
* 10[5] = Steinhaus' Megiston = 10[4]10
* etc..
4. a[6] = a[5]a
1. 2[6] = 2[5]2 = 256[3]256[5]
2. 3[6] = 3[5]3 = 3[5][5]2 = ((27^27)^(27^27))[3](27^27)^(27^27)[4][5]2
5. in general, a[k+1] = a[k]a
