= 
= 
= 
= 
.
Worse Solution
~ Sahan
We solve the general form expression 
. Note,
![\[\sqrt{a\sqrt{b\sqrt{c}}}=(a^4b^2c^1)^\frac{1}{8}\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/4/2/4/424d5de402446a916dcfea1b75d7b3806764116b.png)
Thus our answer is,
![\[(16^4\cdot8^24^1)^\frac{1}{8}=16777216^{\frac{1}{8}}=8\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/2/3/8/23837ddc992819d2722cda055f450a33918d8fe6.png)
