Find the value $12^\frac{1-(x+y)}{2(1-y)}$ given $3=60^x$ and $5=60^y$.

Without using the calculator and the help from logarithm, evaluate $\large12^\frac{1-(x+y)}{2(1-y)}$ if $3=60^x$ and $5=60^y$.

Aww, this problem looks easy peasy if we could solve it using the logarithm method as we can convert the exponential forms to logarithmic forms and get:

$\log_{60}3=x$ and $\log_{60}5=y$
