Let our minimum waiting time be x minutes, in which when we return 5 x minutes of video will be loaded. After playing these 5 x minutes, we will have another 2 5 x minutes loaded. We notice a geometric progression in the minutes loaded in the intervals we have watched, thus showing the total time that we can watch without pausing to be:
5 x + 2 5 x + ⋯ = x ⋅ ( 5 1 + 2 5 1 + … ) = 4 x = 1 0 0
⇒ x = 4 ⋅ 1 0 0 = 4 0 0
