%C A082385 Conjecture: The sequence always terminates with one of the following:(tested to n=1000000) 1,55,136,153,160,370,371,407,919 which eventually loop back to themselves. 1,153,370,371,407 loop back in 1 step and are the sum of the cubes of their digits. The others are 55,250,133,55. 136,244,136. 160,217,352,160. 919,1459,919. A046156, A046157 indicate this as a limit of possibilities of numbers that cubed digital roots roll back to the origional number. Proof? - _Cino Hilliard_, Apr 13 2003 Proof: In A055012 _T. D. Noe_ notes that for n > 1999, A055012(n) < n. This means that by repeatedly applying A055012, we eventually reach a number smaller than 2000. As checked by _Cino Hilliard_, all numbers below 10^6 end in one of the listed cycles. - _Stefan Steinerberger_, Sep 05 2007
