Would you allow Imaginary Numbers?

Imaginary numbers have no order, so i wouldnt know how to compare them. One could use a norm to calculate a distance to 0+0i, but thats really not the same thing (and there could be draws even with different numbers)
If i only take the real part of your "number", it seems you just found an overcooked way to write infinity - which is not a number.

[GiantFrog's greatness, if you could put it in numbers]

solid try, but sadly it cant be put into numbers as its infinite.

Rayo's Number

had to look that one up. The definition feels pretty cheaty, but i guess it works :D
I suppose normally that would almost guarantee the win, but here we have no rule against expanding on that number.

let n = Rayo's Number;
nennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn...

its ugly but i guess it takes the win.

the bigger number

..no. This interpretation would make more sense if "the bigger number" was in quotation marks maybe.

y2-y1/x2-x1

the slope is infinite

y2-y1/x2-x1
the slope is infinite

Another riddle..
assuming x1,x2,y1,y2 are real numbers, this expression will either yield a real number or be undefined in the case of x1=x2, nothing with infinity.
Considering you are talking about a slope, you must be talking about a function. However, at no point has a function ever an infinite slope, even if the slope is approaching infinity.

I suspect the solution to this riddle is that you missed some brackets and where talking about a limit:
lim(x2->x1) (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
This would be +∞ or -∞ depending on the orientation of x1,x2.

The brackets arent actually needed to create such limit, you could also have meant:
lim(x2->0) y2-y1/x2-x1
which would be +∞ or -∞ depending on if x2 comes from above or below.
I think this is unlikely though, as not only would y2 and x2 be utterly useless in this expression, but also because i think you cooked this one up by remembering the 5 minutes you were awake during math class, in which your teacher defined derivatives, which can be defined using a vaguely simular expression:

f'(a) = lim(x->a) (f(x)-f(a))/(x-a)

This would also explain why you were talking about a slope.

Either way, at best you only found another fancy way to express infinity - which is not a number

I dont like the referee

the googolplex

The Graham's number

the googolplex

The Graham's number

if i multiply these numbers and divide them by the 3rd highest number given within the first 2 pages the result would look something like this:
0.00000000000...... a lot of 0's before any other diget appears.
In fact, the amount of 0's is higher than both your numbers multiplied, so that would ve been a better entry.
Thanks for trying.

I dont like the referee

The above 0.000... number also accurately describes how much the referee cares. So i do care somewhat.

I still dont like the referee. Booooo!

Good point, how about this? Let N(0)=Rayo's Number, and N(x)=N(x-1)^N(x-1). My new number will be N(Rayo's Number).

@Octane, surely would give a big number, but if you are trying to make it as big as possible, it makes sense to go with what made it so immensly big in the first place.
Rayo's Number = Rayo(10^100), so you can easily just repeatedly use this function, for example:
Rayo(Rayo(Rayo(10^100))). Now you could define a function that uses the Rayo function Rayo's Number-times and extend that principle as long as you want.

def coke_n_hookers(some_number, iter_count):
	if iter_count == 1:
		return some_number
	else:
		for i in range(Rayos_number):
			some_number *= some_number ** Rayos_number

		return coke_n_hookers(some_number, iter_count -1) 

print(coke_n_hookers(Rayos_number, Rayos_number))

Badly written in Python to make it inefficient and because after 9 years of trying, I still can't code.

You could have used a for… else because of using python so that 1 isn’t treated like as much of a special case.
You could get a stack overflow after a while if iter_count is too high.

This code wouldnt run for a variety of reasons. Stack overflow, but also just not enough atoms in the universe to possibly store Rayo's Number in. Even if it somehow ran, the Heat Death of the Universe would happen before this thing made its first iteration.

Even if it would finish, your creation is still basically nothing compared to just applying the Rayo function twice, as in
Rayo(Rayo's Number), so thats not the way to go if you want to make a big number

Just thought of a way to make an even bigger number.

Let n = Graham's number
