COMMENT

0 does not occur. 1 first occurs for n=101, 2 first occurs for n=2, 3 first occurs for n=20, 4 first occurs for n=11, 5 first occurs for n=1. What is the least n such that a(n) > 5? - Jason Earls, Jun 03 2005

Since each string has only finitely many preimages under this map, the sequence is unbounded. Compare A100961. - N. J. A. Sloane (njas(AT)research.att.com), Jun 18 2005
