Math, microeconomics or criminal justice
4,5,16,24,64, 124,256... break it down into 2 alternating sequences
4,16,64,256... and 5,24,124, ....
1st is 2^2, 4^2, 8^2, 16^2.. next term after 256 is 32^2 = 1024
2nd is 5,24, 124 or 5, 5^2-1, 5^3-1, next term after 124 is 5^4-1 = 624
the sequence is
4,5,16,24,64, 124, 256, 624, 1024, ...
