You have the following realtion between variable minutes and variable components

minutes component

0 5

1 9

2 25

3 89

4 ?

1. It is possible to notice, from the previous table, that each element of component is the result of the addition of the previous element plus 4 powered to the corresponding number in minute.

For example, for the first value of component, you have:

4 + 4⁰ = 4 + 1 = 5 (here the value of minute is 0)

For the second one, you have:

5 + 4¹ = 5 + 4 = 9 (here the value of minute is 1)

For the third one:

9 + 4² = 9 + 16 = 25 (here the value of minute is 2)

For the fourth one:

25 + 4³ = 25 + 64 = 89

For the fifth one:

89 + 4⁴ = 89 + 256 = 345

2. The searched value is 345
