Hints
(Greetings from The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences!)
A125521 a(n) = minimal difference between two distinct n-digit with property that when one of them is typed into a calculator and rotated 180 degrees, the other one is seen. 0
3, 6, 30, 60, 300, 600, 3000, 6000, 30000, 60000 (list; graph; refs; listen; history; internal format)
OFFSET

1,1

FORMULA

If n is even, a(n) is 6 followed by (n - 2) / 2 zeros. If n is odd, a(n) is 3 followed by (n - 1) / 2 zeros.

EXAMPLE

a(3) = 30. If one types 595 into a calculator and rotates it 180 degrees, they will get 565. 595 - 565 = 30. With a little thought, it is provable that 30 is the smallest possible difference.
