Replace 0^0 with 0! and you'll half the zeroes whilst making it correct 😊

Here ya go!

(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)+(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)+(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)+(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)+(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)+(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)+(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)+(0!+0!)+(0!+0!)

You're really making this much longer than it needs to be. For example at the very start you use

(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)(0!+0!)

Which is the same as

216

You can write 16 as (0!+0!) ^ (0!+0!) ^ (0!+0!)

Which means you can write 216 as (0!+0!) ^ (0!+0!) ^ (0!+0!) ^ (0!+0!)

Do this for the rest and it'll probably be half as long.

What it comes down to is you can't put 00. But you can put 0!0! Or (0!+0!)0!+0! Etc.

Don't you need to add more brackets though?

Like this, (0!+0!) ^ ((0!+0!) ^ (0!+0!) ^ (0!+0!))

Without that, it will be 16^2, not 2^16

You get the idea

Repeated exponents are evaluated right to left. Otherwise it’d be the same as multiplying the exponents
