\begin{align} \hat{\theta}&=\displaystyle \arg\max_\theta L(\theta,X)\\ \hat{\theta}&=\displaystyle \arg\max_\theta \quad \theta^n\, \Pi_i^n X_i^{-2} \end{align} Clearly, you should increase $\hat \theta$ to increase the likelihood. But you can't really do that. Why? (Think about how the relation between $\theta$ and x is defined).
