Problem (Algebra):
Let $T=T N Y W R$. Compute the largest real solution $x$ to $(\log x)^{2}-\log \sqrt{x}=T$.

Solution:
Let $u=\log x$. Then the given equation can be rewritten as $u^{2}-\frac{1}{2} u-T=0 \rightarrow 2 u^{2}-u-2 T=0$. This quadratic has solutions $u=\frac{1 \pm \sqrt{1+16 T}}{4}$. As we are looking for the largest real solution for $x$ (and therefore, for $u$ ), we want $u=\frac{1+\sqrt{1+16 T}}{4}=1$ when $T=\frac{1}{2}$. Therefore, $x=10^{1}=\mathbf{1 0}$.

Final answer: 10
