[Question]
  [
According to the [Wikipedia page on the number 69](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/69_(number)), it is of note that \$69^2 = 4761\$ and \$69^3 = 328509\$ together use all decimal digits. The number **69** is in fact the lowest number that satisfies this property.
For a similar reason, \$32043\$ is remarkable: \$32043^2 = 1026753849\$ uses all decimal digits.
If we're going to keep talking about numbers that are interesting this way, we'll need some notation.
For most integers \$n\$, the powers \$n^2, ..., n^k\$ will use all ten decimal digits (not counting leading zeroes) at least once for sufficiently large values of \$k\$ . If it exists, we'll call the lowest such \$k\$ the *CUDDLE* (***CU**mulative **D**ecimal **D**igits, **L**east **E**xponent*) of \$n\$.
### Task
Write a program or a function that accepts a single non-negative integer \$n\$ as input and calculates and returns its *CUDDLE*.
If \$n\$ does not have a *CUDDLE*, you may return anything but a positive integer, including an error or an empty string, as long as your code halts eventually.
### Test cases
Left column is input, right column is output.

200        15
32043       2
1234567890  3
```
### Additional rules
* Your code must work for all inputs up to \$255\$.
*Note that this involves dealing with pretty large numbers. \$20^{15}\$ is already larger than \$2^{64}\$.*
* If you print the result, it may be followed by a linefeed.
* Standard [code-golf](/questions/tagged/code-golf "show questions tagged 'code-golf'") rules apply.

## Python 2, 56
```
f=lambda n,i=2,s='L':len(set(s))>10or-~f(n,i+1,s+`n**i`)
```
A recursive solution. Counts up exponents `i` starting from `2` and accumulates the digits of powers `n**i` into the string `s`. When `s` has all ten digits, returns `True`, which equals `1`, and otherwise recurses and adds `1`. This turned out shorter than returning `i`.
Calling the function on a number without a CUDDLE terminates with `Internal error: RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded`. Numbers up to `255` that do output never need more than 15 iterations.
Because of Python 2's annoying habit of appending an `L` to large numbers, we actually initialize the digit string to `L` and check if the set size is at least 11. Python 3 saves 2 chars by not needing this, but loses 3 chars on using `str` over backticks. Python 3.5 saves 2 more chars with set unpacking, saving a char over Python 2 in total:
```
f=lambda n,i=2,s='':len({*s})>9or-~f(n,i+1,s+str(n**i))

Like other solutions, I use 15 as an upper limit. I believe that this is also the maximal *CUDDLE*. I tested all numbers up to 10.000.000, and there's no number with a *CUDDLE* greater than 15. 
Numbers with a *CUDDLE* >= 10 are already quite rare. The only numbers with a *CUDDLE* of 15 are the numbers `2*10^k`. There are no numbers with a *CUDDLE* of 14 or 13, the *CUDDLE* 12 only appears for the numbers `6*10^k`, the *CUDDLE* 11 only for `5*10^k`. 
So I think this code works perfectly for any natural number. 
Prints an error message, if there is no solution.

       +k             k + ^ (converts to string implicitly)
      = k             save the result in k

This relies on the fact that the CUDDLE (if it exists) is never larger than 15 for the input range, as first observed by @xnor.
There's probably a better way of producing the output for the case where there's no solution. I'll update if I think of anything.
Explanation:
```
L     Push empty string, will be used for accumulating digits.
li    Get input and convert to integer.
G,    Build list of exponents [0 .. 15].
2>    Slice off first two values, to produce [2 .. 15].
f#    Apply power operator with all exponents to input.
{     Start loop over powers.
  s     Convert to string. We care about the digits here.
  +     Concatenate with previously found digits.
  _&    Uniquify using set intersection of digit list with itself.
  _     Copy for continued accumulation in next loop iteration.
}%    End of loop over powers. We'll have an extra copy of the last value here,
      but it does no harm so we just keep it.
:,    Apply length operator to accumulated digit lists.
A#    Find 10 in the list. The search result will correspond to the first power
      that resulted in 10 different accumulated digits. If not found, the result
      will be -1. Note that 0 corresponds to power 2, since that was the first
      power we used. So we need to add 2 to get the result, and check for -1.
)     Increment value. 0 now corresponds to no solution.
_     Copy this value. Will be used as multiplier to create empty string if 0.
)     Increment again, to get the +2 needed for the result.
s     Convert to string.
\     Swap once-incremented value to top, which is 0 for no solution, non-zero
      otherwise.
g     Signum to get 0/1 for no solution vs. solution.
*     Multiply with result string, to get empty string for no solution.

f=(d=DigitCount;x=1;y=d[0];For[n=0,!IntegerQ@Log10[#]&&MemberQ[y,0],++n,x*=#;y+=d[x]];Print[#,"\t",n])&
```
It appears that only powers of 10 would not eventually have CUDDLEs, so they are skipped. Function keeps a list of seen digits and stops when there are no longer zeros in it.
Output:
```
1    0
2    15
3    10
4    10
5    11

Nothing too clever about it, but piping to `sort -U[nique]` is a neat way to ape Python's `set()` functionality for this kind of use, without explicitly adding items to a hashtable.
```
param($n,$s='')                              # Take command line parameter.
2..99 |%{                                    # Loop from 2 to 99, inclusive.
    $s+=[bigint]::Pow($n,$_)                 # $n^Loopvar, concatenate to string.
    if (($s-split''|sort -U).Count-eq11) {   # Convert to unique-characters-array; count.
        $_;break                             # Print current loopvar and quit.
    }
}                                            # Otherwise, finish (silently).

{for(n=$0;a-1023&&++i<15;j=0)for($0*=n;j++<NF;)a=or(a,2^$j)}$0=i<15?++i:_
```
For every digit `0` bis `9` it encounters in the powers of the input, it sets the bit representing `2^digit` in `a`, until the first 10 digits are found (`a == 1023 == 2^10-1`) or there's been more than 15 iterations.
Has to be called with an empty field seperator and the -M flag for big numbers.
```

Assumes that the *CUDDLE* of a number is never greater than 16. [This](https://tio.run/##y0rNyan8///hji4tBxe3QB/bR41buYwOLzdU/m9kcHS3tZGZjpmBjpmljqGRhY6hqYGOkYGBjrGRgYkxUMTYxNTM3MLS4OGO@QY6hjqGBoe2Wh9u13T/DwA) is a **14** byte version that only assumes the *CUDDLE* exists (runs forever for \$n = 0, 1, 10\$)
## How it works
```
*Ḋ}DFQL - Helper link. Takes n on the left and k on the right
  }     - To k:
 Ḋ      -   Dequeue; Yield [2, 3, ..., k]
*       - Raise each to the power n
   D    - Convert to digits
    F   - Flatten
     Q  - Deduplicate
      L - Length
çⱮ⁴i⁵ - Main link. Takes n on the left
  ⁴   - 16
 Ɱ    - Over each k in [1, 2, ..., 15, 16]:
ç     -   Run the helper link with n on the left and k on the right
    ⁵ - 10
   i  - First index of 10 or yield 0 if not present
```

Outputs `-1` if \$n\$ does not have a *CUDDLE*.

**Explanation:**
```
₂L            # Push a list in the range [1,26]
              # (note: 26 is the smallest single-byte builtin integer above 15)
  .Δ          # Find the first integer k in this list which is truthy for:
              # (results in -1 if none were truthy)
    L         #  Push a list in the range [1,k]
     ¦        #  Remove the first item to make the range [2,k]
      m       #  Take the (implicit) input-integer to the power of each of these
       S      #  Convert the list of integers to a flattened list of digits
        9Ý    #  Push a list in the range [0,9]
          å   #  Check for each digit it it's in the flattened list of digits
           P  #  And check if this is truthy for all of them
              # (after which the result is output implicitly)
```
The `S9ÝåP` could also have been `JÙgTQ` for the same byte-count:
```
       J      #  Join the list of integers together to a single string
        Ù     #  Uniquify its characters/digits
         g    #  Pop and push its length
          TQ  #  And check that this length is equal to 10
```
