Technically, I have not used the fact that the number in question is 3^^^3 -- I am treating it as 3^^X, where X is very large. So for huge numbers of digits, this will not give the correct answer, but I don't think it's practical to compute that many digits, in any case.

Should I explain how everything else works?

Nah, I just figured that the named functions were something relevant, and I'm satisfied with that level of knowledge at this point.
