%N a(n) is the number of digits in the decimal representation of the smallest power of 5 that contains n consecutive identical digits.

%C Number of digits in 5^k is equal to floor(1 + k*log_10(5)).

%t k = 0; Join[{1}, Table[While[d = IntegerDigits[5^k]; prt = Partition[Differences[d], n - 1, 1]; ! MemberQ[prt, Table[0, {n - 1}]], k++]; Length[d], {n, 2, 8}]] (* _T. D. Noe_, Oct 03 2012 *)
