Numerical answer
Arrange sentences 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 into a coherent paragraph. Enter the correct order as a five-digit number (e.g., 31425).
1. Termite mounds, for instance, maintain remarkably stable internal temperatures and humidity through networks of ventilation shafts that passively drive air circulation, without any centralized control.
2. Architects have taken note, designing buildings whose ventilation systems mimic this passive, decentralized approach to reduce reliance on energy-intensive air conditioning.
3. Biomimicry, the practice of drawing design solutions from natural systems, has quietly influenced architecture for decades, though it rarely receives the attention given to more visible green-building technologies.
4. One especially well-studied example comes from the insect world, where termite colonies have evolved construction techniques refined over millions of years.
5. One such building in Zimbabwe famously used this principle to cut its energy consumption for climate control by a substantial margin compared to conventional structures of similar size.

Show answer and solution
Answer: 34125
Sentence 3 introduces the general topic — biomimicry in architecture. Sentence 4 narrows to a specific domain (insects, termites) as 'one especially well-studied example.' Sentence 1 elaborates on termite mounds specifically. Sentence 2 shows how architects applied this principle. Sentence 5 gives a concrete real-world instance of sentence 2's claim, serving as a natural closing example. Order: 3-4-1-2-5.
