    Euler Problem 104: Finding Fibonacci numbers for which the first and last nine digits are pandigital.

    The Fibonacci sequence is defined by the recurrence relation:
    F(n) = F(n-1) + F(n-2), where F(1) = 1 and F(2) = 1.

    It turns out that F(541), which contains 113 digits, is the first Fibonacci number for which the last nine digits are 1-9 pandigital (contain all the digits 1 to 9, but not necessarily in order). And F(2749), which contains 575 digits, is the first Fibonacci number for which the first nine digits are 1-9 pandigital.

    Given that F(k) is the first Fibonacci number for which the first nine digits AND the last nine digits are 1-9 pandigital, find k.
