Not that you didn't race through this!
I'm sure you have all these solutions stored and indexed on a mega sized hard drive somewhere!
For you mortals who want to know the solution to X
Spoiler
X=46.
In each group of five numbers, the second and third numbers are irrelevant.
The first number is squared, and the product of that is added to the fifth number to determine the fourth number.
Here is the formula written out: X^2+Y=Z, Where X = The first number, Y = The fifth number, and Z = The fourth number.
2^2+12=16
3^2+20=29
4^2+30=46=X
5^2+42=67
6^2+56=92
