It is known that the partition function p(n) obeys Benford's law in any integer base b≥2. A similar result was obtained by Douglass and Ono for the plane partition function PL(n) in a recent paper. In their paper, Douglass and Ono asked for an explicit version of this result. In particular, given an integer base b≥2 and string f of digits in base b they asked for an explicit value N(b,f) such that there exists n≤N(b,f) with the property that PL(n) starts with the string f when written in base b.
