I can't speak for Joshua's code, but in my code that's the first "jaw
dropping" starting value, taking 120,796,790 steps to reach 0, Ir
nevertheless completes very much faster than 425720 (which is still
slogging through values with about 400,000 bits after about 14 billion
steps on my box so far). The max value reached from 22246 had a "mere"
27,596 bits.
