Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

COMMENTS
Bailey and Crandall conjecture that the terms of this sequence, apart from the first, are given by the formula floor(16*(x(n) - floor(x(n)))), where x(n) is determined by the recurrence equation x(n) = 16*x(n-1) + (120*n^2 - 89*n + 16)/(512*n^4 - 1024*n^3 + 712*n^2 - 206*n + 21) with the initial condition x(0) = 0 (see A374334). They have numerically verified the conjecture for the first 100000 terms of the sequence. - Peter Bala, Oct 31 2013
Bailey, Borwein & Plouffe's ("BBP") formula allows one to compute the n-th hexadecimal digit of Pi without calculating the preceding digits (see Wikipedia link). - M. F. Hasler, Mar 14 2015

FORMULA
a(n) = 8*A004601(4n) + 4*A004601(4n+1) + 2*A004601(4n+2) + 1*A004601(4n+3).
If Pi is the expansion of Pi in base 10, Pi=3.1415926...: a(n) = floor(16^n*Pi) - 16*floor(16^(n-1)*Pi). - Benoit Cloitre, Mar 09 2002
