With offset 0, ((cube root of 10) to the power n) rounded up.
From Carmine Suriano, Mar 14 2020: (Start)
The terms corresponding to n = (20,21); (38,39); (41,42); (56,57); (59,60); (77,78); (80,81) ... are such that the square of first term starts with the digits of second term, and the square of second term starts with the digits of the first. For example, a(38)^2 = 2154434690032^2 = 4641588833613.... and a(39)^2 = 4641588833613^2 = 2154434690032...
