When someone writes:
$3^{3^3}$
Do they mean $3^{(3^{3})}=3^{27}$ OR ${{(3^3)}^3} = 27^3$ ?
There are no brackets
Please reply ... this may be a silly question ... Thanks!

Confusion with repeated exponents

The notation $a^{b^c}$ with no brackets would conventionally be $a^{(b^c)}$, as opposed to $(a^b)^c = a^{bc}$. Thus, in this case $3^{27}$ is probably indicated.
