Dear Neil, Hans, Éric and Seqfans<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
It seems the shortest loop of Éric Angelini's < sum of last ten digits > sequence is found [in the sequence beginning with a(10)=9] at term a(17)=45 and by a lenght of 1 term:<BR>
<BR>
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 9 9 18 27 36 45 54 45 45 45 45 45 45 45 45 45 <BR>
<BR>
It should be interesting to taste the eight other (beginning with 2, 3 ...8)<BR>
<BR>
Best!<BR>
<BR>
Alexandre<BR>

%C A112402 There are only 10^10 possibilities for the last 10 digits, so the sequence must eventually cycle.<BR>

In fact, terms 19-23 (44, 40, 37, 42, 38) are repeated by terms 331-335 already.<BR>
<BR>
Here are 335 terms:<BR>
