From these results, we can assume that the positive minimizing value of x in x^x^x^x is 1/cubrt (e), and etc. Almost makes you wonder why names of operations stop at exponents. Why isn't there an operation that is the number of times a number is put to it's own power? Well, I guess they had to stop somewhere.

I certainly wouldn't mind learning the simple method. You could PM me.
