@caseyliss Apple even sent me a refund for the difference without me asking for anything
@drdrang Seems like a holdover from group-theoretic mod definition. I guess that is a reason but still
@drdrang Do they have any reason for the strange a=b definition? I do not like it.
@marcoarment Last time I tried to transfer one on a Verizon plan I spent hours on the phone over a two week period and they still never figured it out. They also couldn’t figure out how to stop charging me for the watch plan even though it wouldn’t connect. I decided having cellular service on my watch wasn’t worth that amount of effort.
@christianp Can’t stop now!
None of 1^1, 2^2, 3^3, 4^4, 5^5 have repeated digits, but all other values of n^n have repeated digits.
1! through 6! have no repeated digits, but all other factorials have repeated digits (could have solved this one by hand but I didn’t)
@christianp This led me on a fun journey:
What is the largest cube, fourth power, etc, with no repeated digits? (1 and 2048 are the only 11th powers with no repeated digits)
What is the largest power of 2, 3, 4, etc, with no repeated digits? (536870912 = 2^29)
This led me to the meta question “What is the largest n such that at least one value of n^a (a > 1) has no repeated digits?” which brought me back to 99066 (of course)

I migrated my entire family off Verizon on Sunday, so I’m feeling a little smug today
Update (2h12m) he has to go home and will call me back tomorrow
