FORMULA
From Jinyuan Wang, Jan 29 2019: (Start)
For n == 1 (mod 8), if n is a perfect square, a(n) = 1, otherwise a(n) = 9.
For n == 2 (mod 8), if n is a term in A097269, a(n) = 2, otherwise a(n) = 10.
For n == k (mod 8), k = 3,4,...,8, a(n) = k.
For positive integer x, a(72*x+42) = a(72*x+66) = 10. (End)
EXAMPLE
a(13) = 5: 13 = 1+1+1+1+9.
