(A014715). The terms divided by the numbers of added digits also would tend to a constant, i.e. A004977(n)/A005341(n)->const. If the digits in A005150 occur with constant probabilities c1, c2, c3 then A004977(n)=A005341(n)*(c1+2*c2+3*c3) and this conjecture entails the convergences noted here. - Alexandre Losev (alosev(AT)svr.igic.bas.bg), Aug 31 2005 %H A004977 Albert Frank, International Contest Of Logical Sequences, 2002 - 2003.
