If 1=5, 2=25, 3=325, 4=4325, then 5=??

The obvious solution 5=54325 does not fit. If you have any suggestion, please commend.

Thanks in advance.

What do you mean by "does not fit"?

I think you may have been misled into thinking this is a sequence. The question was stated with an "if", at the beginning. I think that the obvious answer is that "if 1=5, then 5=1."

You are right, what I wanted to say is that the number 54325, although fits to the sequence, it is not the "password" to open a certain file.:) If you have any alternative suggestion please commend. Thank you.
