%N Largest n-digit number k with only odd digits such that the k-th triangular number also has only odd digits.

%C It appears that all a(n), n > 12, have initial digits "799".

%C The first digit of a(n) is never 9. - _Chai Wah Wu_, Sep 08 2022

%C As in A347475, all terms with more than 2 digits end in 33, 37, 73 or 77. - _M. F. Hasler_, Sep 12 2022

%F a(n) = max { k in A347475 | k < 10^n }.

%e T(5) = A000217(5) = 5*6/2 = 5*3 = 15 has only odd digits, and neither T(7) nor T(9) have this property, therefore a(1) = 5.
