4. Let $x_{1}=\sqrt[3]{3}, x_{2}=\left(x_{1}\right)^{\sqrt[3]{3}}$, for $n>1$ define $x_{n+1}$ $=\left(x_{n}\right)^{\sqrt[3]{3}}$. Find the smallest positive integer $n$ such that $x_{n}=27$.
4.7.

It is known that $x_{n}=x_{1}^{x_{1}^{n-1}}(n>1)$, and $27=(\sqrt[3]{3})^{(\sqrt[3]{3})^{6}}$. Therefore, $n-1=6$. Hence, $n=7$.
