COMMENTS
Begin with the left (most significant) k digits and sequentially remove the first j leading digits until a palindrome is found; continue.
a(23) is actually 040 (which should be obvious), a(24) is 00, a(30) is 00, a(44) is 00, a(56) is 00, etc.
If the Blazys's constant is a normal number then all palindromes should eventually appear.
EXAMPLE
Blazys's constant is 2.566543832171388844467529106332285751782972828702314645...
