2007 AIME II Problem 12

The increasing geometric sequence x_{0},x_{1},x_{2},\ldots consists entirely of integral powers of 3. Given that

\sum_{n=0}^{7}\log_{3}(x_{n}) = 308 and 56 \leq \log_{3}\left ( \sum_{n=0}^{7}x_{n}\right ) \leq 57,

find \log_{3}(x_{14}).

Leading zeroes must be inputted, so if your answer is 34, then input 034
