The kitten video had 101010 views in the first minute after it was uploaded, and the cumulative number of views increases by 505050 views each minute. The baby video had 333 views in the first minute after it was uploaded, and the cumulative number of views increases by a factor of approximately 3.53.53, point, 5 each minute. In which minute will the baby video's cumulative number of views first exceed the kitten video's cumulative number of views?
