The answer is 36, but I can't solve it. I think it has something to do with squaring or cubing the numbers, but I can't figure it out. Please help. Thanks.

Let’s start at 64 and work our way down to see if there's a pattern.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"64+=+2%2A2%2A2%2A2%2A2%2A2=2%5E6\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"243+=+3%2A3%2A3%2A3%2A3+=+3%5E5\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"256+=+4%2A4%2A4%2A4+=+4%5E4\"$
\n" ); document.write( "I think there’s a pattern
\n" ); document.write( "Let’s go back to the beginning
\n" ); document.write( " $\"0+=+0%5E8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1+=+1%5E7\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"64+=2%5E6\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"243+=+3%5E5\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"256+=+4%5E4\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"125+=+5%5E3\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"___+=+6%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"7+=+7%5E1\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1+=+8%5E0\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Your answer is $\"6%5E2\"$ or 36.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
