So Franklin T. Adams-Watters recommends submitting:
Sum of letter values (a=1, b=2, ..., z=26) of the English name of n,
excluding spaces and hyphens.
n a(n) comment
0 64 LetterValue(z)+ LetterValue(e)+ LetterValue(r)+
LetterValue(o) = 26+5+18+15 = 64
1 34 o+n+e = 15+14+5 = 34
2 58 t+w+o = 20+23+15
3 56
4 60
5 42
6 52
7 65
8 49
9 42 same value as a(5)
10 39 t+e+n = 20+5+14
11 63
12 87
13 99 note that "teen" --> 44, so a(Xteen)=a(X)+44
14 104
15 65 same value as a(7)
16 96
17 109
18 93
19 66
20 107 t+w+e+n+t+y = 20+23+5+14+20+25, so a(twentyX)=107+a(X)
21 141
22 165
23 163
24 167
25 149
26 159
27 172
28 156
29 149 same value as a(25)
30 100 t+h+i+r+t+y = 20+8+9+18+20+25, so a(thirtyX)=100+a(X)
31 134
32 158
33 156
34 160
35 142
36 152
37 165
38 149 same vale as a(25)=a(29)
39 142 same value as a(35)
40 84 f+o+r+t+y, so a(fortyX) = 84 + a(x)
Would anyone like to correct, code, extend, answer the questions about
fixed points, trajectories on iteration, the disjoint classes of
possible and impossible values, or the equivalent in another language
with or without a different alphabet?
