Riddle 3
Create an arithmetic representation that consists of exactly 6 eights (8), has no other numbers and the result is 1000.

The only symbols that may be used are those of addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, square root and brackets. You may also use expontation

In other words use
At least 6 eights -> 8 8 8 8 8 8
and with +,-,*,/,^,√,() try to make it equal to 1000.

It would be nice if someone could write this better so it is more understandable.
