If x is in A020342, then 10*x is in this sequence, and this makes up most of the terms. Exceptions are the terms not ending in 0, {1395, 105264, 116928, 119682, 192375, 258795, 263736, 268398, 289674, 1008126, 1133484, 1173939, ...}. There are terms of the form 10*x in A020342 with x not in A020342, like {25510, 45760, 67950, 136590, 146520, 168520, 175560, 246150, 250510, 255010, ...}. Is any such term in this sequence A144563, or can it be proved there isn't?
