thats pretty cool. I've never seen that before. As for numbers other than the square root (like that other method wouldn't work) all i can think of is using logs. Like if you had a log table and anti-log tale, or a calculator with only log functions and no root function.

anyways for the example its:

27^(1/3) = x

(1/3)log27 = logx

note: log27 = 1.43 (this is what you'd look up)

(1/3)*1.43 = logx

0.48= logx

note: the anti log is just 10 to the power of a number ie 10^
you'd also look this up!

10^.48 = x

3 = x
