"to grasp what infinity means", you must not be a finite being, but a god.
Here is my counter offer.
Tell me your number!
If it is correct, I will give you 1 SBD. If it is wrong, you will admit that I won your contest.
To make it easier to you, I will only test 3 versions.
x^x^x^x^x = 2
x^x^x^x^x^x^x = 2
x^x^x^x^x^x^x^x^x = 2
If all three equations are true for your number, I will give you 1 SBD.
Any real number is a valid entry. It doesn't matter if it is a floating point or an integer. As long as it is a number, I will accept it.

Yep. Give it.
I am willing to lose 1 SBD if you are right.

The answer is root 2

As I expected - you are wrong.
Before trying to be smart, you should understand what equality means.
(It is a lot simpler concept than infinity.)
Your formula will never, ever be equal to 2. It will always be slightly less, even if you apply it infinite times.
Mathematicians assume equality, because it is almost the same, but that doesn't mean it is really true.
I repeat myself - there is no number other than the 5 I listed, that always produces a constant after powering with it.

if you use proof it technically equals root 2. Doing root 2 ^ of root 2 it will equal 1.9 recurring which technically equals 2.
x = 1.9recurring
10x = 19.9(rec)
10x - x = 9x = 18
x therefore = 2

I don't understand why you keep writing = instead of ~=
You want people to understand infinity but you don't understand equality.
A claim is either true or not.
In math there is no such thing as 'true enough'
If I am taking a test and write 2 instead of 1.9(9), it will be considered a wrong answer.
