I've found one more.  But, doing this "by hand" gives me little
confidence that I've not missed any smaller ones.

%I A000001
%S A000001 0,1,5,7,25,67,482,667
%N A000001 Numbers n such that the decimal representation of n is
contained as substring in that of the n-th pentagonal number.
%C A000001 This is to pentagonal numbers A000326 as A119238 is to
triangular numbers A000217 and as A018834 is to squares A000290.
%e A000001 The 5th pentagonal number, 35, which contains 5.
%e A000001 The 7th pentagonal number, 70, which contains 7.
%e A000001 The 25th pentagonal number, 925, which contains 25.
%e A000001 The 67th pentagonal number, 6700, which contains 67.
%e A000001 The 482nd pentagonal number, 348245, which contains 482.
%e A000001 The 667th pentagonal number, 667000, which contains 667000.
%Y A000001 Cf. A000217, A000290, A000326, A018834, A119238.
%K A000001 base,more,nonn
%O A000001 1,3
