Problem



The standard Fibonacci sequence 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, ... begins with two 1s and each later number in the sequence is the sum of the previous two numbers.

Other Fibonacci-like sequences can be constructed by starting with any two numbers a and b, and using the same rule for creating the other numbers in the sequence.

What is the first term of the Fibonacci-like sequence whose second term is 4 and whose fifth term is 22?
