AMC 12 2009a Problem 24

  • Paper

The ''tower function of twos'' is defined recursively as follows: T(1)=2T(1) = 2 and T(n+1)=2T(n)T(n + 1) = 2^{T(n)} for n≥1n\ge1. Let A=(T(2009))T(2009)A = (T(2009))^{T(2009)} and B=(T(2009))AB = (T(2009))^A. What is the largest integer kk such that

log⁡2log⁡2log⁡2…log⁡2B⏟k times\underbrace{\log_2\log_2\log_2\ldots\log_2B}_{k\text{ times}}

is defined?
