%N a(n) = 10^(n^2).
%C Number of n X n matrices over an alphabet of size 10.
%C The 10th term of this sequence is the googol (10^100).
%C The term in position 10^50 (sqrt(googol)) is the googolplex (10^googol).
%C a(n) = k^(n^2) with k = 2, 3, 4, ... counts n X n matrices over an alphabet of size k.
