A138369 Count of post-period decimal digits up to which the rounded n-th convergent to 4*sin(4*Pi/5) agrees with the exact value.
0, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 6, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 19, 23, 25, 26, 28, 27, 29, 31, 31, 33, 35, 37, 38, 38, 39, 40, 41, 41, 42, 42, 45, 45, 48, 50, 51, 51, 52, 54, 54, 55, 56, 57, 57, 61, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 71, 72, 73, 72, 75, 75, 76, 77, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 81, 83

Examples
For n=4, the 4th convergent is 47/20 = 2.350000000..., with a sequence of rounded representations 2, 2.4, 2.35, 2.350, 2.3500, 2.35000, etc. Rounded to 1 or 2 post-period decimal digits, this is the same as the rounded version of the exact square root, but disagrees if both are rounded to 3 decimal digits, where 2.351 <> 2.350. So a(4) = 2 (digits), the maximum rounding level of agreement.
