Since this problem concerns exponents, we think of taking the logarithm on both sides. l n x x x . . . = l n 10 ln x^{x^{x...}} = ln 10 becomes x x x . . . l n x = l n 10 x^{x^{x...}} ln x = ln 10 . Now, the pre-logarithmic term, x x x . . . x^{x^{x...}} , is equal to 10. Thus, 10 l n x = l n 10 10 ln x = ln 10 which gives us x = e l n 10 10 x = e^{\frac{ln 10}{10}} , which is actually x = 1 0 1 10 = 1.259... x = 10^{\frac{1}{10}} = 1.259...

I know most of you already know this, but for the sake of the others, here's my brief solution x 10 = 10 x = 10 10 1.259 { x }^{ 10 }=10\\ x=\sqrt [ 10 ]{ 10 } \simeq 1.259
