%N a(n) = 5*6^n - 4*5^n.
%C First differences of 6^n - 5^n = A005062.
%C a(n-1) is the number of numbers with n digits having the largest digit equal to 5. Or, equivalently, number of n-letter words over a 6-letter alphabet {a,b,c,d,e,f}, which must not start with the first letter of the alphabet, and in which the last letter of the alphabet must appear.
