COMMENTS
There are 11 forty-two-digit terms in the sequence. Further terms are obtained (a) by inserting at the center of these terms either any number of 0's (for 166425621223026859056339052269787863565428, 311906350108036145286307567270199935391877, 466287189883036620417374974360601118217236, 658139747564935391877311906350534262959233, 703288139752915027377325180481642968027593) or any number of 9's (for the other six terms) and (b) by concatenating a term any number of times with itself and inserting an equal number of 0's at all junctures. Method (b) may be applied recursively to all terms. - Clarified by Ray Chandler, Oct 14 2017.
