Examples

			a(0) = 0 is the result of the empty sum corresponding to 0 digits.
a(2) = 49 = (6+1)^2 = 6^2 + 2*6 + 1 = 121_6 is the concatenation of (1, 2, 1).
a(7) = 676678989289 = 1234510111054321_6 is the concatenation of (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 10, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1), where the middle "10, 11, 10" are the base 6 representations of 6, 7, 6.
