%N Worthless numbers: numbers without h, o, r, t, or w.
%C Of course there cannot be any number that is expressed in any of the usual ways without w, o, r, t or h, between eleven and a googol. "Twelve and the -teens and -ties, factorials" all contains at least one "t". Powers all contain "-to-the-". "Score" or "dozen" or "gross" contain at least an "o". "Hundred" and "thousand" contain at least an "h" and "-illion" contains an "o". Reading digit-by-digit would lead to the duller sequence: 5, 6, 7, 9, 55, 56, 57, 59 and exclude that very worthless number, five-elevens. - _Michael Joseph Halm_, May 05 2006
%D M. J. Halm, Sequences (Re)discovered, Mpossibilities 81 (Aug. 2002).
%e a(1) = 5 because 5 is the first integer without an h, o, r, t or w.
%e a(6) = 55555 is the sixth worthless number, read as six-fives
