A095916(a(n)) = 0. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Mar 12 2015
See A049518 for the "exactly 2" variant, which differs from a(11) on. - M. F. Hasler, Oct 18 2019
EXAMPLE
From M. F. Hasler, Oct 18 2019: (Start)
The integer part of Pi*10^25 ends in 33, i.e., at position 25 starts the (first) string of two repeated digits 3, therefore a(1) = 25.
At position 154 starts a string of three '1's, so this sequence lists both, 154 and 155, but sequence A049518 lists none of these. (End)
