%N The location of the first occurrence of n in the decimal expansion of phi (the golden ratio, 1.6180339887...).

%C Locations in the expansion of phi are numbered 0 for the digit before the decimal point, 1 for the first digit after the decimal point, and so on.

%F a(n) = A088577(n) - 1.

%e The first occurrence of 0 in phi occurs 4 places after the decimal point, so a(0)=4; 5 first occurs 22 places after the decimal point, so a(5)=22; 10 first occurs 231 places after the decimal point so a(10)=231.
