Note that:

n = π Squaring both sides n 2 = π n 2 = n n = 1 Since n 0 \begin{aligned} n & = \sqrt{\sqrt{\sqrt{\cdots\sqrt{\sqrt \pi}}}} & \small \color{#3D99F6} \text{Squaring both sides} \\ n^2 & = \sqrt{\sqrt{\sqrt{\cdots\sqrt{\sqrt \pi}}}} \\ \implies n^2 & = n \\ n & = \boxed{1} & \small \color{#3D99F6} \text{Since } n \ne 0 \end{aligned}

By that logic, it could also be 0.

No, because π > 0 \pi > 0 , lim n π 1 n = 1 \displaystyle \lim_{n \to \infty} \pi^\frac 1n = 1 .

Since taking infinite root to π \pi , then n = π n ^ { \infty } = \pi .

More exactly, π = n π = n \displaystyle \sqrt { \sqrt { \sqrt { \sqrt { \cdots \sqrt { \pi } } } } } = n \rightarrow \pi = n ^ \infty , so n n = 1.

Taking the square root of any number n n where n > 0 n \gt 0 enough times will eventually converge towards 1 1 .

All numbers ( Including complex numbers ) take square root many times, it must be 1 \boxed { 1 } .

And like 0 0 0 \sqrt { 0 \sqrt { 0 \sqrt { 0 \cdots } } } \cdots , 0 0 does not fit the question, because taking infinite square root to 0 0 , it is always 0 \boxed { 0 } .

We can write n n as a limit: n = lim x π . 5 x = π 0 = 1 n=\displaystyle\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} \pi^{.5^{x}} = \pi^0 = \boxed{1}
