Large Numbers

UPDATED:
Added Details and LInks

As noted in previous posts, I am a fan of Large Numbers, I am especially interested in small functions that compute Large Numbers.

Recently I watched a Numberphile Youtube video, which captivated my interest. The numbers that I found most interesting are large "Cyclops Numbers".

The following Linux function will compute a large Cyclops:

echo "10^(2*253-1) -1 -9*10^(253-1)" | bc

Can you spot the Cyclops Eye?
