This problem needs a solution. If you have a solution for it, please help us out by adding it.

Problem

Define a sequence of real numbers $a_1$, $a_2$, $a_3$, $\dots$ by $a_1 = 1$ and $a_{n\plus{}1}^3 = 99a_n^3$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg) for all $n \geq 1$. Then $a_{100}$ equals

$\textbf{(A)}\ 33^{33} \qquad  \textbf{(B)}\ 33^{99} \qquad  \textbf{(C)}\ 99^{33} \qquad  \textbf{(D)}\ 99^{99} \qquad  \textbf{(E)}\ \text{none of these}$
