According to WolframAlpha, the equation \$\sqrt{\log_2(x)} = \log_2(\log_2(x))^2\$ has three solutions. Two real numbers around 1 and 5 and a very large integer solution. So what is that large integer solution?

Simple transformations on both sides yield $$ \log_2(x)^{\frac 1 4} = \log_2(\log_2(x)) \\ 2^{2^{log2(x)^{1/4}}} = x $$ Now, substitute \$y=\log_2(x)^{1/4}\$. Note that \$y\$ has to be an integer as well. This yields two equations: $$ 2^{2^y} = x, \quad y=\log_2(x)^{\frac 1 4} \\ 2^{2^y} = x, \quad y^4=\log_2(x) \\ 2^{2^y} = x, \quad 2^{y^4}=x \\ 2^{2^y} = 2^{y^4} \\ 2^y = y^4 \\ $$

The only integer solution to this is \$y=16\$, leaving us with \$x=2^{16^4}=2^{2^{2^{2^2}}}\$. The first integer that satisfies the inequality is \$x+1\$.
