%N a(n) is the smallest e > 0 such that the initial digit of n^e = 1 in decimal representation.
%C A000030(n^a(n)) = 1; A098175(n) = n^a(n).
%C From _Rémy Sigrist_, Jun 25 2018: (Start)
%C We can extend this sequence to every Gaussian integers as follows:
%C - for any Gaussian integer z, let f(z) be the least k > 0 such that the initial decimal digit of the real part of z^k equals 1, or -1 if no such k exists,
%C - naturally f(n) = a(n) for any n > 0,
%C - apparently f(z) = -1 iff z = 0,
%C - see Links section for the color plot of f.
