Can you solve this?

$${\left({\left({{\mathtt{64}}}^{\left({\frac{{\mathtt{3}}}{{\mathtt{4}}}}\right)}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}\left({\frac{{\sqrt{{\mathtt{2}}}}}{{\mathtt{2}}}}\right)\right)}^{{\mathtt{\,-\,}}\left({\frac{{\mathtt{1}}}{{\mathtt{2}}}}\right)}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\left({\mathtt{4}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\sqrt{{\mathtt{2}}}}\right)}^{{\mathtt{3}}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\sqrt{{\mathtt{2}}}}\right)}^{\left({\frac{{\mathtt{1}}}{{\mathtt{3}}}}\right)}$$

mmm that looks scary doesn't it. :)

$${\left({{\mathtt{64}}}^{\left({\frac{{\mathtt{3}}}{{\mathtt{4}}}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{\,-\,}}{\frac{{\mathtt{1}}}{{\mathtt{2}}}}\right)}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\left({\frac{{{\mathtt{2}}}^{\left({\frac{{\mathtt{1}}}{{\mathtt{2}}}}\right)}}{{{\mathtt{2}}}^{{\mathtt{1}}}}}\right)}^{{\mathtt{\,-\,}}\left({\frac{{\mathtt{1}}}{{\mathtt{2}}}}\right)}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{{\mathtt{4}}}^{{\mathtt{3}}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{{\left({{\mathtt{2}}}^{\left({\frac{{\mathtt{1}}}{{\mathtt{2}}}}\right)}\right)}}^{{\mathtt{3}}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{{\mathtt{2}}}^{\left({\frac{{\mathtt{1}}}{{\mathtt{2}}}}\right)}\right)}^{\left({\frac{{\mathtt{1}}}{{\mathtt{3}}}}\right)}$$

$${{\mathtt{64}}}^{{\mathtt{\,-\,}}\left({\frac{{\mathtt{1}}}{{\mathtt{8}}}}\right)}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}\left({{\mathtt{2}}}^{\left({\frac{{\mathtt{1}}}{{\mathtt{12}}}}\right)}\right){\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{4}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{{\mathtt{2}}}^{\left({\frac{{\mathtt{2}}}{{\mathtt{3}}}}\right)}$$

$${\left({{\mathtt{2}}}^{{\mathtt{6}}}\right)}^{{\mathtt{\,-\,}}\left({\frac{{\mathtt{1}}}{{\mathtt{8}}}}\right)}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}\left({{\mathtt{2}}}^{\left({\frac{{\mathtt{1}}}{{\mathtt{12}}}}\right)}\right){\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{{\mathtt{2}}}^{{\mathtt{2}}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{{\mathtt{2}}}^{\left({\frac{{\mathtt{2}}}{{\mathtt{3}}}}\right)}$$

Now    -9+1+24+8=24

$${{\mathtt{2}}}^{\left({\frac{{\mathtt{24}}}{{\mathtt{12}}}}\right)}$$

$${{\mathtt{2}}}^{{\mathtt{2}}} = {\mathtt{4}}$$

By doing it so slowly to show you all the steps it actually made it seem much harder. :)

Melody........that was a HUGE answer!

thanks Rosala - it was a bit of an effort :)

surely it might have been!

Wow, Melody....!!!..that was a lot of work just to arrive at "4"......but I'll give you credit.....you even managed to keep rosala's attention....!!!  LOL!!!

Thanks Chris and rosala,

It was a pretty cool question.
