%C From _Johannes W. Meijer_, Jul 08 2011: (Start)
%C We observe for the last digit a(n) of the partition function p(n) = A000041(n) that the probabilities of p(d = 0) = 0.18 and p(d = 5) = 0.18 while for the other digits p(d = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9) = 0.08, see the examples. Ramanujan, who had access to the first two hundred p(n) thanks to MacMahon, observed this anomaly and subsequently proved that p(5*n+4) mod 5 = 0, see the references and links.
%C The first digit of the partition function p(n) follows Benford’s Law. This law states that the probability of having first digit d, 1 <= d <= 9, is p(d) = log_10(1+1/d), see the crossrefs. (End)
