%N Starting position of the first occurrence of a string of at least n '9's in the decimal expansion of Pi.

%C a(10) > 11*10^9 - 1. - _Eric W. Weisstein_, Jul 20 2013

%C a(15) > 22*10^12. - _Dmitry Petukhov_, Jan 29 2020

%C Pi digits 3,1,4,... are indexed 0,1,2,... Note that this is different from other sequences such as A049522, A084073 which use indices 1,2,3,... For example, the position of the curious accumulation of six 9s is called 762 here; the same position is called 763 in A049522, A084073. - _Jeppe Stig Nielsen_, Aug 21 2017
