%C A digit d of Pi is in this sequence iff A000796(i) = A000796(i+1), where i is the index of d in A000796. - _Felix Fröhlich_, Nov 01 2016

%F a(n) = A000796(A049514(n)).

%e Pi=3.14159265358979323846264(33)83279502(88)41971693(99)3751058209749(44)592307816406286208(99)8628034825342(11)70679...

%e Therefore, this sequence starts 3, 8, 9, 4, 9, 1.
