DWW kindly pointed out several sequences with unacceptable leading zeros.

Here i have edited one such sequence:


%I A061111 
%S A061111 1,25,9712,4500526591296
%N A061111 a(1) = 1; a(n) = smallest number such that the concatenation a(1).0^*.a(2).0^*....0^*.a(n) is a perfect cube (where any number of 0's can be inserted between the terms).

%C A061111 Comment from njas, Jul 21, 2001: The implication is that 10...01, 10...02, 10...03, ... , 10...024 are never cubes for any number of internal zeros, while 125 IS a cube, so a(2) = 25.

(I wonder if the assertions implicit in this sequence have really
been established)
