The cube of the next even positive integer is written beside the square of every odd positive integer in ascending order, without commas or spaces, resulting in this infinite pattern:
1896425216495128110001211728........
Determine the 2010th digit in the above pattern.

This table is copied from data generated in Excel. The progressive sum at each row accumulates the digits of the square and cube of that row to the total.
The 2009th digit is a "2" and so the 2010th is a "1" from the 349th integer.
