[seqfan] Re: First differences are the sums of the two digits touching the commas

[Jack Brennen]

This sequence stops after 123 terms.  The 123rd term is 989,
which has no possible successor.

It looks like many low starting points lead to 989 and halt there.

The smallest starting point which goes beyond that seems to be
the number 396 (which has no possible predecessor).  The sequence
beginning with 396 goes on for quite some distance.  I traced it
up to values in excess of 20 million (over 3 million terms).
