All numbers are divisible by 5.
FORMULA
E.g.f.: (exp(x) - x)^5. - Geoffrey Critzer, Jan 29 2015
EXAMPLE
a(1)=0 trivially.
a(2)=5 because there are 5 eligible numbers 11, 22, 33, 44, 55.
a(3)=5 because there are 5 eligible numbers 111, 222, 333, 444, 555.
a(4)=65 because there are 65 eligible numbers:
1111,1122,1133,1144,1155,1212,1221,1313,1331,1414,1441,1515,1551,
