%N a(1) = 2; for n>1, a(n) = product of digits of (a(n-1)^2).

%e 6 is in the sequence because 4^2=16 and 6*1=6.

%e 18 is in the sequence because 6^2=36 and 3*6=18.

%e Other similar sequences, starting from 3, 5 and 7, respectively:

%e . 3, 9, 8, 24, 210, 0 (0 continued);

%e . 5, 10, 0;

%e . 7, 36, 108, 144, 0.
