$\"+5%5E%28log%285%2C8%29%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "You just have to read this very carefully.
\n" ); document.write( "It goes like this:
\n" ); document.write( "\" I want to raise $\"5\"$ to a certain power.
\n" ); document.write( "This power is an expression which says:
\n" ); document.write( "I am an exponent that wants to have $\"5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "as it's base- oh, look- my base is $\"5\"$ just
\n" ); document.write( "like I need. I don't know what number I am,
\n" ); document.write( "but I do know that $\"+5%5Ex+=+8+\"$ .\"
\n" ); document.write( "so, $\"+5%5E%28log%285%2C8%29%29+=+8+\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
