A138374 Count of post-period decimal digits up to which the rounded n-th convergent to 2^(1/3) agrees with the exact value.
1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 6, 6, 8, 6, 10, 10, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, 21, 22, 23, 25, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 35, 38, 39, 40, 39, 41, 42, 45, 46, 46, 47, 49, 51, 52, 52, 54, 56, 56, 57, 58, 58, 60, 61, 62, 63, 65, 64, 66, 68, 69, 69, 70, 70, 72, 74, 74, 75, 77, 79, 81

Examples
For n=5, the 5th convergent is 63/50 = 1.26000000.., with a sequence of rounded representations 1, 1.3, 1.26, 1.260, 1.2600, 1.26000, etc. Rounded to 1, 2, or 3 post-period decimal digits, this is the same as the rounded version of the exact value, but disagrees if both are rounded to 4 decimal digits, where 1.2599 <> 1.2600. So a(5) = 3 (digits), the maximum rounding level with agreement.
