%C A112402 Digits, not terms!<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>

It seems the shortest loop of Éric Angelini's < sum of last ten digits > can be found beginning with 9, and has a lenght of 1 term:<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>
It should be interesting to taste the eight other (beginning with 2, 3 ...8)<BR>
</FONT><BR>
Thanks to Gilles Sadowski's computing, the seven other loops are, beginning with:<BR>
<BR>
1: loop at n(19)=44, 312 terms (Hans)<BR>
2: loop at n(17)=38, 312 terms<BR>
3: loop at n(21)=36, 104 terms<BR>
4: loop at n(16)=38, 312 terms<BR>
5: loop at n(28)=42, 312 terms<BR>
6: loop at n(28)=36, 104 terms<BR>
7: loop at n(18)=44, 312 terms<BR>
8: loop at n(32)=37, 312 terms <BR>
9: loop at n(17)=45, 1 term<BR>
(with offset 1,)<BR>
<BR>
I'm submitting them.<BR>
I don't know if this is of interest:<BR>
-only loops by lenght of 104 and 312 (and 1);<BR>
-a pattern: [312 312 104];<BR>
-loop 4 == loop 2; loop 6 = loop 3 but beginning at position 47 of loop 3;<BR>
<BR>
What's happening beginning with 10, 11, 12... ?<BR>
