COMMENTS
Conjecture: -1 only occurs in the first entry of the sequence. 1000-digit precision was used in the calculation.
FORMULA
e = 2.718281828...
EXAMPLE
e^0 = 1, 0 does not occur so -1 is in first entry in the table.
e^1 = 2.718281828..., first 1 occurs in the third position so 3 is the second entry.
e^2 = 7.3890560989306502272304274..., first 2 occurs in the 17th position, so 17 is the third entry in the table.
