UMVUE of geometric parameter squared

Let x1=2,x2=5x_1=2, x_2=5 and x3=4x_3=4 be the observed values of a random sample from a population having a probability mass function f(x;θ)={θ(1−θ)x,if x=0,1,2,…, 0,otherwise,f(x; \theta)=\begin{cases} \theta(1-\theta)^x, & \text{if }x=0, 1, 2, \dots, \ 0, & \text{otherwise,} \end{cases} where θ∈(0,1)\theta\in(0, 1) is an unknown parameter. If τ^\hat{\tau} is the uniformly minimum variance unbiased estimate of θ2\theta^2, then 156τ^156\hat{\tau} equals __________
