I saw this meme posted on Facebook and I don’t understand. According to the comments, I am supposed to interpet this as 2\^18 = 262144, but why the square root? Also I thought that when it was a “power tower” of exponents like that, you worked from right to left, in which case it would be a ridiciously big number and certainly not be 262144?

Unless I’m missing something since it’s early this equation is wrong. When stacking exponents like that you multiply the exponents. So 2^(6*2*1*4*4) =2^192. A square root is also x^(1/2). Multiply the exponents again you get 2^(192/2) =2^(96) = 7.9e28. So a very large number like you said.
Edit: someone pointed out that it should be interpreted as each exponent raised to the next instead of the entire base term in which case the equation does check out. 2^(6^2) instead of (2^6)^2
