Instead of 8x8x8x8x8x8x8x8x8x8x8... factorize the exponent so you get 8^ ok never mind it's prime, but let's pretend that this is 8^360, what you do is (((((8^5)^3)^3)^2)^2)^2 and the reason I did it in descending order is it's nicer to just square the bigger numbers so put the bigger factors of the exponent first, but any order should be fine as long as 8 undergoes one tesseracting, two cubings, and three squarings. This would be easier on pen and paper cause fewer steps, but mentally, probably just about as difficult.
