Let $a$ be a positive real number, $n$ a positive integer, and define the [i]power tower[/i] $a\uparrow n$ recursively with $a\uparrow 1=a$, and $a\uparrow(i+1)=a^{a\uparrow i}$ for $i=1,2,3,\ldots$. For example, we have $4\uparrow 3=4^{(4^4)}=4^{256}$, a number which has $155$ digits. For each positive integer $k$, let $x_k$ denote the unique positive real number solution of the equation $x\uparrow k=10\uparrow (k+1)$. Which is larger: $x_{42}$ or $x_{43}$?
