%N A368088 Index of smallest pentagonal number with n digits.
%C A368088 The digits of the odd- and even-indexed terms converge to those in the decimal expansions of sqrt(2/3) and sqrt(20/3), respectively.
%F A368088 a(n) = ceiling((sqrt(24*10^(n-1) + 1) + 1)/6).
%e A368088 a(4) = 26 as the 26th pentagonal number is 26*(3*26-1)/2 = 1001 which has 4 digits (while the 25th is 925 which is only 3).
