COMMENT

The selvage number, x = sum{k=1..inf} a(k)/10^k, is a normal number, but it is not known whether or not x is irrational. Is this sequence periodic?

FORMULA

a(n) = floor[10*(n*x)] (Mod 10), where x = sum{k=1..inf} a(k)/10^k. a(n) = 9 - A071789(n).

EXAMPLE

a(7) = 5 since floor(10*(7*x)) (Mod 10) = 5, x=0.50505050505050505051616161616161616161627272727272...
