Define sequence S_n by: initial term = n, reverse digits and add 1 to get next term. It is conjectured that S_n always reaches a cycle of length 9, as in A117230. Sequence gives number of steps for S_n to reach the cycle.
1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 18, 17, 15, 13, 11, 9, 7, 5, 3, 1, 16, 16, 15, 13, 11, 9, 7, 5, 3
