A new Conjecture at OEIS sequence A376842

Here is a new conjecture of mine from the appendix of an unpublished manuscript currently under review. Let $b \in \mathbb{Z}^+$ and assume that $n$ is an integer greater than $1$ and not a multiple ...

Prove ${^{b}a} \equiv {^{b+1}} a \pmod {10^{\lfloor{\log_{10} (^{b}a) }\rfloor + 1}} \Rightarrow a=5$ as $a$ and $b$ are two integers greater than $1$

$\DeclareMathOperator\len{len}$Let $a, b \in \mathbb{N} -\{ 0, 1 \}$ and define ${^{b}a}$ to be $a^a$ if $b = 2$ and $a^{\left(^{b-1}a \right)}$ if $b \geq 3$ (e.g., ${^{3}5} = 5^{\left( 5^5 \right)} =...

Defining the number of rightmost frozen digits of Graham's number

It is well-known that (in radix-$10$) Graham's number, $G$, can be expressed as a tetration with base $3$ and a very large hyperexponent $\tilde{b}$. Thus, we can write that $\exists! \hspace{1mm} \...
