  solve this maths problem. Who can solve = godlike!
  
  here is the sequence
  1
  3
  5
  9
  13
  17
  25
  33
  41
  49
  
  find nth term
  hehehe....

  The hard part is finding the nth term.

  the differences in those sequence number is 2, 2 , 4, 4, 4 ,8 ,8 ,8 ,8 .... so the next sequence would be 16, 16, 16 ,16 ,16 then 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32
  
  example
  1+2=3
  3+2=5
  5+4=9
  9+4=13
  13+4=17
  17+8=25
  25+8=33
  33+8=41
  41+8=49
  49+16 = 65
  65+16=81
  list go on
  
  so the formula is very complex lol

  Ah, but maths is the universal language! While nobody knows how to differentiate apples and pears in unknown languages, every language knows how to put 2 and 2 together.

  r is the amount of activation point. z times2 to power of r
  to find activition point = 1+r +(r+1) whereby r is the total. so 1st activation point is 1+1 =2nd term , 2nd activation point is 1+1+2 = 4th term, 3rd activation point is 1+3+3 = 7th term.
  
  For example finding 7th term it is at 3rd activation point so 1 * 2 to power of 3
  so da difference in number or the constant to add on to the amount and further add on to the total is 8.

  For example finding 7th term it is at 3rd activation point so z squared to power of 3
  
  

  Once you can find which activation point corresponds to n, you can find the nth term

  Yeah, to find the answer, it's very easy, use the key.
