This paper investigates the behavior of the last digits of a tetration [1]of generic base. In fact, last digits of a tetration are the same starting from a certain hyperexponent and in order to compute them we reduce those expressions mod 10n. Very surprisingly (although unproved) I think that the repeating digits depend on the residue mod 10 of the base and on the exponents of a particular way to express that base. Then I’ll discuss about the results and I’ll show different tables and examples in order to support my conjecture. 1. DEFINITIONS Definition (Tetration). In mathematics, tetration is an operation based on iterated, or repeated, exponentiation. It is the next hyperoperation after exponentiation, but before pentation. The word was coined by Reuben Louis Goodstein from tetra(four) and iteration. n represent the a-th tetration of n , or: n n n ... } a times Definition (Floor and Ceiling function). [2] In mathematics and computer science, the floor function is the function that takes as input a real number x, and gives as output the greatest integer less than or equal to x, denoted ⌊x⌋. Similarly, the ceiling function maps x to the least integer greater than or equal to x, denoted ⌈x⌉. 2. MAIN CONJECTURE Let fq(x, y, n) be a function such that if: fq(x, y, n) = u Then:
