%N Smallest nontrivial k such that k^n - 1 is a palindrome (k >1 for n>1).
%C The sequence is infinite as 10 always qualifies: 10^k - 1 is always a palindrome, hence a(n) <=10. Is there any n > 5 for which a(n) is not equal to 10?
%e a(5) = 3 as 3^5 -1 = 242 is a palindrome.
%Y Cf. A083456.
%K base,nonn
