1.  Start from the the deepest logarithm:

    log%282%2C%288%29%29 = 3.    ( <<<---=== no more explanations ! You must know it !)



2.  Now one level up:

    log%283%2C+%28log%282%2C%288%29%29%29%29 = log%283%2C%283%29%29 = 1.



3.  Now last step

    log%284%2C+%28log%283%2C+%28log%282%2C%288%29%29%29%29%29%29 = log%284%2C%281%29%29 = 0.

Solved.

==================

Looking into the post by @amalm, I do not see and do not understand what was the reason and the necessity to take my clear explanation
and to re-write it in much worse style.

My method is very standard method to solve this problem.

The method from the amalm's post is non-standard, and if you come to the teacher with his solution instead of mine,
the teacher will see momentarily that you do not know the standard method and do not know standard and basic facts on logarithms.

Note that %28log%28b%2Cy%29%29=ln+y%2Fln+b

Therefore, %28log%282%2C8%29%29=ln+8%2Fln+2+=+3

Similarly, %28log%283%2C3%29%29=ln+3%2Fln+3+=+1

Finally, %28log%284%2C4%29%29=ln+1%2Fln+4=+0%29+ (Answer)
