What about

X ≈ 0.09441 , Y ≈ 0.74 ⇒ X X ≈ 0.8002606253813772 , Y Y ≈ 0.8002606685816319 X \approx 0.09441, Y \approx 0.74 \Rightarrow X^X \approx 0.8002606253813772, Y^Y \approx 0.8002606685816319 ?

(The small difference is because of rounding errors)

What about ( 1 / 2 ) ( 1 / 2 ) = ( 1 / 4 ) ( 1 / 4 ) = 1 2 (1/2)^{(1/2)}=(1/4)^{(1/4)}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} ?
