A352752 a(n) is the smallest nonnegative number that requires n applications of the modified Sisyphus function of order 3, x -> A350709(x) to reach any number in the cycle {4031, 4112, 4220}.
4031, 1001, 0, 10, 1000000000
Offset: 0
Examples
0 -> 1100 -> 4220 reaches an element of the cycle {4031, 4112, 4220} in two iterates and must be the smallest, so a(2) = 0
