%N a(n) is the smallest positive integer k such that k^n is pandigital in base n.
%C For the corresponding values of k^n, see A318779.

%F a(n) = A318779(n)^(1/n).
%e a(2)=2 because 1^2 = 1 = 1_2 (not pandigital in base 2, since it contains no 0 digit), but 2^2 = 4 = 100_2.
%e a(3)=4 because 1^3 = 1 = 1_3, 2^3 = 8 = 22_3, and 3^3 = 27 = 1000_3 are all nonpandigital in base 3, but 4^3 = 64 = 2101_3.
