No, gentleman.....
1.01^1.01^1.01^1.01.......... is not infinity.
For any value less than approximately 1.444667861, the resultant is NOT infinity...
I have got a proof for this....If you want, I shall e-mail it to you....

Well, the answer is 14.
Each person would shake hands with thirteen others,
resulting in 14 x 13 = 182
but a handshake involves two people....
divide that by 2, you get 91...

the way to solve this problem is n(n-1) = 91 x 2 = 182
Solve the equation, you get n=14.




My 100 clean jokes remain with me, ha!

e, the natural logarithm base is approximately 2.7182818284......
1.444667861 (approximately) is the value of eth root of e.
This is a very special number for two reasons.
(1) The maximum value of xth root of x for any value of x is obtained when x=e. This value, i.e. xth root of x is approximately 1.444667861.
(2) We all know 1 raised to itself ad infinitum is 1.
2 raised to itself ad infinitum is divergent, that is infinity.
But, there's a value between 1 and 2 for which the number raised to itself ad infinitum is a finite value.
The maximum such value is 1.444667861 (approximately) such that the number raised to itself ad infinitum remains finite. And this finite value=e.


Please feel free to mail me if you have any doubts.

Take the challenge.....
The first one to answer this question gets 100 clean jokes in his or her mailbox, free.................
In a get-together, every person present shakes hand with every other person once......
If there are 91 handshakes in all, how many people attended the party?
Don't take more than 5 minutes for answering this.
