Make the most of these digits (Posted on 2002-06-06) Difficulty: 3 of 5
You can use the digits 1,2,and 3 once only and any mathematical symbols you are aware of, but no symbol is to be used more than once. The challenge is to see if you can make the largest numbers.

Here are some numbers to set the ball rolling: 321, 21to the third power, (3/.1)to the second power.

(levik: I guess this is more of a competition)

And to continue, one can always define new mathematical symbols as one likes.  I would have preferred if the author had limited the allowed symbols explicitly.

But if we choose to use such esoteric operators (or to create our own), then this problem becomes trivial to the point of absurdity.
