FORMULA

a(n)=10^(2^(n-3))-1 for n >= 3. (Proof by induction. Consider a(n)*f, l=ceil(log(f)/log(10)), g1=number formed by the first l digits of a(n)*f, g2=number formed by the last l digits of a(n)*f => g1+g2=number formed by l 9's, if l<=10^(2^(n-2))+1) - Sascha Kurz (sascha.kurz(AT)uni-bayreuth.de), Jan 04 2003
