A060411 In the '3x+1' problem, take the sequence of starting values which set new records for the highest point of the trajectory before reaching 1 (A006884); sequence gives iterate where maximal value is reached in the trajectory with that start.

0, 2, 3, 4, 45, 8, 31, 14, 48, 28, 49, 33, 26, 50, 35, 43, 67, 39, 69, 39, 35, 124, 83, 37, 132, 46, 81, 75, 83, 118, 68, 42, 72, 97, 98, 75, 92, 199, 109, 92, 92, 160, 91, 197, 119, 113, 109, 124, 176, 217, 234, 276, 172, 164, 233, 101, 109, 158, 157
