Answer 1

It calculates from the right side, not sure why though

3 ** 2 ** 2 ** 2
> 3 ** 2 ** 4
> 3 ** 16
> 43,046,721

Answer 2

Hi Kartik!
Unlike other operators, exponential operator is evaluated right to left in python.
Alternatively, you can just think about what we're doing in usual mathematics. We can write this expression on a piece of paper like this
2
2
2
3 2⁴
So, it can be shorten as 3 which is equal to 3¹⁶.
