A088876
Smallest positive-integer string not explicitly embedded (in a normal left-to-right fashion) in the full decimal expansion of n^(n^n).

COMMENTS
The ninth term, 10000013, is the smallest length-8 string not found embedded in the 369693100 digits of 9^9^9. To be rigorous, all length-7 strings (still) need to be shown to exist in the expansion.
EXAMPLE
4^(4^4) contains at least one of every decimal digit, but none of its zeros is preceded by a one. Thus "10" is the smallest positive integer not embedded in the decimal form of that number.
