Essentially (i.e., except for the initial term), the same as A003617. The definition is misleading, since "n-th significant digit" seems to mean here "most significant digit" (except for a(1)), while the "significance" is decreasing when going from the first to the last digit. (E.g., 1234 rounded to 2 significant digits is 1200, so "1,2" should be the first and second (and not fourth and third) significant digits.) [M. F. Hasler, Jun 03 2009]
