I'm wondering what your curious note on the Evolution Syndrome talk page here could mean.

Graham's number (GN) without Knuth's arrows.

Being a non-mathematician, I was rather puzzled by the Knuth's arrow business. Now, I THINK I've got it straight, but if I've got it wrong, someone with the expertise please tell me so. I came to the conclusion that there is really no need to resort to Knuth to explain how GN is constructed, and the explanation is much simpler for the maths layperson.

3 is the "selected number" in the GN case, though it could be any number at all for other purposes. Now you construct a series of towers going from left to right across the page (as shown in the article). The first of these towers (not really a tower) has just one layer, and has the value 3. The tower next to it also has 3 as the first layer but it has a total of 3 layers, like this:

acronym stuff[edit]

KFC was for a time a pseudo-acronym for Kentucky Fried Chicken after the company reasoned that in the public mind "fried" now had connotations of "fattening", and so adopted the abbreviated form of their name in 1991. .[1] In 2001 they reverted to the original form, and KFC became a legitimate acronym again.

You can strike out deleted material and underline new material. Double underlining is also possible. ok let's see if this will do

Some macronyms can be "multiply nested" acronyms, ones in which the second order acronym itself points to another one further down in the hierarchy. In an informal competition run by the magazine New Scientist one (fully documented) specimen was discovered which had some a claim to being the most deeply nested of all. RARS is the "Regional ATVOS etransmission Service", ATVOS is Advanced TOVS, TOVS is TIROS operational vertical sounder and TIROS is Television infrared observational satellite. [1]

Eric was carrying this
Dylan had the TEC-9

Oh, wait, the "wound was consistent with 9mm ammunition" but they were both carrying 9mm weapons. And Dylan had the TEC-9; Eric was carrying the carbine, which is a lot less easy to fire into the left side of your head, aiming slightly downwards!
