#[(-1/2)^2]^3-:2^(-3)*(-1/2)^-4)-:2^11)=1/2^10#

#[(-1/2)^2]^3-:2^(-3)*(-1/2)^-4)-:2^11#

= #(-1*2^(-1))^(2xx3)-:2^(-3)*(-1*2^(-1))^(-4)-:2^11#

= #(-1)^6*(2^(-1))^(2xx3)-:2^(-3)*(-1)^(-4)*2^4-:2^11#

= #1*2^(-6)-:2^(-3)*1*2^4-:2^11#

= #2^(-6)-:2^(-3)*2^4-:2^11#

= #2^(-6-(-3)+4-11)=2^(-10)=1/2^10#
