Exponentiation, Tetration And Pentation
The mathematical escalation here is beautiful. First panel: 10 5 = 100,000. Mildly impressed face. Second panel: 10 ⁵ written differently, same number. Slightly more excited. But that third panel... 10 5 is pentation - raising 10 to the power of itself 5 times. That's a number so incomprehensibly large it would make supercomputers weep. No wonder the guy's face turned into an eldritch horror. Mathematicians call this level of numerical insanity "power towers," and they're basically the math equivalent of saying "hold my coffee" to infinity.
