%281%2F16%29%5E%281%2F4%29=%281%2F16%29%5E0.25=1%5E0.25%2F16%5E0.25=1%2F%282%5E4%29%5E0.25=1%2F2%5E%28%284%2A0.25%29%29=1%2F2%5E1=highlight%281%2F2%29

Note: I had to use 0.25 instead of 1%2F4 because the exponents display in a large font size that makes the displayed expression confusing,
and 1%5E%281%2F4%29%2F16%5E%281%2F4%29 was not as easy to interpret as 1%5E0.25%2F16%5E0.25
