%N a(n) is the first digit to appear n times in succession in a power of 2.

%C Assumes that there are no 2 digits that appear n times in succession for the first time in the same power of 2. - _Chai Wah Wu_, Apr 26 2019

%e 2^16 = 65536 is the first power of 2 with a repeated digit (cf. A045875), with 5 repeated, so a(2) = 5. - _N. J. A. Sloane_, Aug 23 2012
