    Lightbulb could there be a combination?

    2(2^2)

    3(3^3)

    4(4^4)

    .....

    a(a^a)
    What I have found, but not yet proven, I think is that in case of a = 3.

    3(3^3) = 81. But we can see it this way:

    (3*3)^3-1, also 81. But this notion doesn't work with a=2, or 4 or any other number I haven't test it yet.

    I think there is a combination,

    and the combination of drugs Prog_Tom has been taken,
    should be written down and given to me.

    I bet it's a nice place.

    a*aa = aa+1

    The above should provide some insight.
