Note that you don't need to work out the numbers exactly to decide
which is bigger!
Possible hints to get started are:
1) Can you split up the powers into smaller pieces, or consider
another quantity which your calculator can handle from which you
can deduce the answer?
or 2) Can you use inequalities and logic such as 'if X
> Y and Y > Z then we know that X > Z'
or 3) What happens when you raise $100^{1/100}$ to the power
$9900$?
