EXAMPLE

a(3)=112 because 3^112(i.e. 273892744995340833777347939263771534786080723599733441) is the smallest power of 3 to contain a run of 3 consecutive sevens in its decimal form.

MATHEMATICA

a = ""; Do[ a = StringJoin[a, "7"]; b = StringJoin[a, "7"]; k = 1; While[ StringPosition[ ToString[3^k], a] == {} || StringPosition[ ToString[3^k], b] != {}, k++ ]; Print[k], {n, 1, 10} ]
