I'm going to go "off the board" with choice (5), "Winston Churchill"
I'm really old, but I'll never be too old to become more educated.

x^x^x^.... .(the number of "x" is infinite),determine the value of "X" sounds incomplete to me.
x can be 0
x can be 1
x can be 2 and any number.

Is the question

If x = x^x^x^.... .(the number of "x" is infinite),determine the value of "x" ?

That makes it complete and easy(If I am correct ;))!

Let A = x^x^x^........ = 4
Implies x^A = 4
Implies x^4 = 4
Implies x = √2
IMO Option A
