%N Decimal expansion of the fifth (of 10) decimal selvage number; the n-th digit of a decimal selvage number, x, is equal to the tenths digit of n*x.

%C In other words, this constant satisfies x = Sum_{n>=0} ( floor(10*n*x) (mod 10) ) / 10^n.

%F a(n) = floor(10*n*x) (mod 10), where x = Sum_{k>0} a(k)/10^k.

%F a(n) = 9 - A071873(n).

%e x = .49494949494949494948383838383838383838372727272727...

%e a(5) = 4 since floor(10*5*x) (mod 10) = 4.
