Answer to Denis Maksudov

Denis Maksudov !

YOU ARE COMPLETELY WRONG to believe that to reach f(w+1,10) we need

to come through 10 - 10 - 10 - 2 successor ordinals !!!!!!!

10 - 10 - 10 - 2 is the value of f(w+1,10) in Conway's Chained Arrow Notation.

But, the number of successor ordinals to reach f(w+1,10) is only 11 !!

0, 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5, 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , w , w+1.

As you can see, it is only 11 starting from 0(excluded)
