%N a(n) is the number of decimals in sqrt(n) needed for all digits 0-9 to occur or -1 if n is a perfect square.

%C All positive terms are >= 10.

%e The decimals for sqrt(2) are .414213562373095048|801688724... and 18 decimals are needed for all digits to occur so a(2) = 18.

%e The decimals for sqrt(143) are .9582607431|01398021... so a(143) = 10.

%e The largest term when n < 10^9 is a(232863046) = 229.
