GG.
No idea what this means.

It means 1+1..+1 stupidly many times.

But... but exponents q.q

Anyway, this turned into incomprehensibility stupidly fast.
I GOT IT
Spoiler: kinda spammy (click to show/hide)

I won't pretend to know if this makes any mathematical sense. I'm sorry. High school advanced algebra gets one only so far.

We know who to blame:

Dammit derm.

Anyways:
HFS's Number +1. (HFS's number is a number equal to Ackermann(Ackermann(Ackermann([graham's number], [graham's number]),Ackermann([graham's number], [graham's number])),Ackermann(Ackermann([graham's number], [graham's number]),Ackermann([graham's number], [graham's number]))).)

[GreatWyrmGold] gets a little crown. May it forever be his mark of Cain; let no one argue pointless subjects with him lest they receive the same.

My number, Ackermann(Ackermann(Ackermann([graham's number], [graham's number]),Ackermann([graham's number], [graham's number])),Ackermann(Ackermann([graham's number], [graham's number]),Ackermann([graham's number], [graham's number]))

Put that into the Ackermann function as the arguments, then put that into the Ackermann function as the arguments, and so and so on an Ackermann(Ackermann(Ackermann([graham's number], [graham's number]),Ackermann([graham's number], [graham's number])),Ackermann(Ackermann([graham's number], [graham's number]),Ackermann([graham's number], [graham's number])) number of times.

His number is just

"Ackermann(Ackermann(Ackermann([graham's number], [graham's number]),Ackermann([graham's number], [graham's number])),Ackermann(Ackermann([graham's number], [graham's number]),Ackermann([graham's number], [graham's number])) + 1"

So it follows the rules.
