Triangular array read by rows, 2<=k<=n: T(n,k) = smallest number that in base k representation is not contained in n^n.

T(n,n) = 2 for n>2.
EXAMPLE
Initial values of n^n in representations with increasing base:
2^2: ........................... 100
3^3: ....................... 11011 1000
4^4: ................. 100000000 100111 10000
5^5: ......... 110000110101 11021202 300311 100000
6^6: 1011011001000000 2101000000 23121000 2443111 1000000
'11021202' = ternary 5^5: all ternary numbers < 8 are contained
in '11021202': '0', '1', '2', '10', '11', '12', '20' and '21', but not
8='22', therefore T(5,3)=8.
