First off, let us just clarify the problem a little bit. l o g 2 ( l o g 3 ( l o g 2 x ) ) = 0 log_{2}(log_{3}(log_{2}x))=0 The only way that a logarithm can equal 0 is if the logarithm is to 1. Using this info, we quickly derive that l o g 3 ( l o g 2 x ) log_{3}(log_{2}x) must equal 1, and thus l o g 2 x log_{2}x must be equal to 3. Since l o g 2 8 log_{2}8 is the only way we can satisfy all conditions, 8 \boxed{8} is our answer.
