Hints
(Greetings from The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences!)
A072217 Consider the Reverse and Add! problem (cf. A001127); of all the n-digit numbers N which eventually reach a palindrome, pick that number N which takes the greatest number of steps to converge (in case of a tie, pick the smallest N); sequence gives number of steps N takes to converge. 2
2, 24, 23, 21, 55, 64, 96, 96, 98, 109, 149, 149, 188, 186, 201, 197, 236, 232 (list; graph; refs; listen; history; internal format)

COMMENTS

Since we do not even know if 196 eventually converges (see A006960, A023108) for n >= 3 these values are only conjectures.
