%N Recurrence sequence based on positions of digits in decimal places of Zeta(3) (Apery's constant).
%C This recurrence sequence starts to repeat quite quickly because 1 appears at the 10th digit of Zeta(3), which is also where 159 starts.
%C Can the transcendental numbers such that recurrence relations of this kind eventually repeat be characterized? - _Nathaniel Johnston_, Apr 30 2011
%F a(0)=0, p(i)=position of first occurrence of a(i) in decimal places of Zeta(3), a(i+1)=p(i).
%e Zeta(3) = 1.2020569031595942853997...
%e a(0)=0, a(1)=2 because 2nd decimal = 0, a(2)=1 because first digit = 2, etc.
