Conjecture: 1 appears infinitely often in this sequence (indicating an infinite number of pairs of consecutive integers in the parent sequence).
Observation: Values tend to average around 20 for early terms, though some evidence suggests this average falls slightly much later. It is not clear how the overall average value behaves approaching the limit at infinity.

Ceiling equivalent of A219303, with somewhat different behavior despite a near-identical iterative process.
Conjecture #1: All numbers under the iteration reach 0 or, like the elements of this sequence, reach a finite loop, and none expand indefinitely to infinity.
Conjecture #2: There are an infinite number of such finite loops, though there is often significant distance between them.
Conjecture #3: There are an infinite number of pairs of consecutive integers in this sequence despite being less abundant than in A219303.

Examples

			1702 is in this list as 38 iterations return to 1702. Many other numbers reach this loop. 5832 is also in this list and is the smallest member of a different loop.
1703 is _not_ in this list because the iteration runs: 1703 -> 2562 -> 1989 -> 1620 -> 2501 -> 5100 -> 6048 -> 2808 -> 53 -> 88 -> 120 -> 11 -> 20 -> 25 -> 0.

Intersection of A219303 and A219960.
Like the parent sequences, this sequence has pairs of consecutive integers; The first of these pairs is 89971 and 89972.
It is possible, assuming the infinite-pairs conjectures are true for both parent sequences, that there may also be an infinite number of pairs here, but even then that is not guaranteed.
