Maple 7 gives both sides the value 0.92227684711757969, agreeing with your answer, and minimal polynomial:

x^75 - 125*x^60 + 40000*x^45 + 2375000*x^30 + 32159375*x^15 - 9765625.

Which means, I might add, that both sides are also equal to: [25 - 30*24^(1/5) - 45/2*24^(2/5) + 5/2*24^(3/5) + 15/2*24^(4/5) ]^(1/15)
