COMMENTS
A quintic Fibonacci sequence.
This is the quintic analog of the Fibonacci sequence similarly to A000283 being the quadratic analog of the Fibonacci sequence. In base 10, n^5 has the same rightmost digit as n. a(7) has 190 digits.

EXAMPLE
a(3) = 1^5 + 1^5 = 2.
a(4) = 1^5 + 2^5 = 33.
a(5) = 2^5 + 33^5 = 39135425.
a(6) = 33^5 + 39135425^5 = 91801604643057285538237803582627026018.
