log*(16) should be the iterated log, which gives us 3. So it’s then I guess 10^112 or 10^18?
I assume prefix is Knuth–Morris–Pratt, but of the resulting integer? Doesn’t quite make sense like that, as 10^(positive power) will give all zeros as prefix, since the 1 causes no match.
If it’s supposed to be 11 (1-indexed argmax… lol), then 11^18 = 5559917313492231481, but that also doesn’t have a nice prefix string result (0120000000000000000 I think).
The SI prefix for 10^18 is exa.
ahh damn, I should have gotten that! I even thought “well maybe something to do with exabyte” but moronically thought there was no connection to prefix…
On the other hand, I would have never connected it to SI Prefix. It’s just not something I would think about. I probably would have gotten it if the poster specifically said SI prefix.
At least with the iterated log, I PROBABLY could have just put it in wolframalpha and found out, but for some reason I stuck to Google search.
It’s cool to see how other people think though, so thanks for sharing!
I would honestly be interested in seeing if a GenAI system can solve this.
Haha, well it figured out the Iterated Log part, which I didn’t know about.
But, at least the free option in ChatGPT chose the wrong BusyBeaver(4) value, got the wrong H100/A100 flops ratio, and also does not know what prefix means.
