Which is greater, A=2^79,641,170,620,168,673,833 or B=3^50,247,984,153,525,417,450?

And what about C=2^2^2^83 and D=3^3^3^52?

(In reply to Part 1 spoiler: Be sure the calculator's large enough; soln to part 1 by Charlie)

BTW, the antilogs (that is, A and B themselves) come out to about

A = 5.07602521906284317737256812 x 10^23974381246463762439
B = 5.07602521906284317740667835 x 10^23974381246463762439
