Note that by the Binomial Theorem we have

1061520150601 = 1 × 1 0 12 + 6 × 1 0 10 + 15 × 1 0 8 + 20 × 1 0 6 + 15 × 1 0 4 + 6 × 1 0 2 + 1 × 1 0 0 = ( 6 0 ) 1 0 12 + ( 6 1 ) 1 0 10 + ( 6 2 ) 1 0 8 + ( 6 3 ) 1 0 6 + ( 6 4 ) 1 0 4 + ( 6 5 ) 1 0 2 + ( 6 6 ) 1 0 0 = ( 1 0 2 + 1 ) 6 = 10 1 6 . \begin{aligned}1061520150601&=1\times 10^{12}+6\times 10^{10}+15\times10^8+20\times 10^6+15\times 10^4+6\times 10^2+1\times 10^0\\&=\dbinom6010^{12}+\dbinom61 10^{10}+\dbinom62 10^8+\dbinom63 10^6+\dbinom64 10^4+\dbinom65 10^2+\dbinom66 10^0\\&= (10^2+1)^6=101^6.\end{aligned}

Therefore 1061520150601 6 = 101 \sqrt[6] {1061520150601}=\boxed{101} .

Good one! But I used "THE CALCULATOR"! one more question of this kind please .😀
