Problem 119: https://projecteuler.net/problem=119

Name: Digit power sum

The number 512 is interesting because it is equal to the sum of its digits
raised to some power: 5 + 1 + 2 = 8, and 8^3 = 512. Another example of a number
with this property is 614656 = 28^4. We shall define an to be the nth term of
this sequence and insist that a number must contain at least two digits to have a sum.
You are given that a2 = 512 and a10 = 614656. Find a30
