FORMULA
x = 10-adic lim_{n->oo} 8^(5^n).
EXAMPLE
x equals the limit of the (n+1) trailing digits of 8^(5^n):
8^(5^0)=(8), 8^(5^1)=327(68), 8^(5^2)=37778931862957161709(568), ...
x=...06160350476776695446967548558775834469592160195896736500120813568.
x^2=...0557423423230896109004106619977392256259918212890624 (A091664).
