incredible. thanks a lot!

thank you for your reply, my question was though how to find x for let's say y = 4 and n = 10000 in the shortest possible amount of time. i know that's not feasible for polynomials of this size in general, but i don't know if there are any special kinds and solution strategies, since this one...

ny = x^(n-1) + x^(n-2) + ... + x + 1 for a certain y and n (>10000) with y!=1 and ny > 1. Is there an analytic way to solve this? Thank you.
