COMMENTS
Conjecture: For any positive integer starting value n, iterations of n -> n + (sum of squares of digits of n) will eventually join A033936 (verified for all n up to 20000).
EXAMPLE
a(3)=8 because the trajectory for 1 (sequence A033936) starts
1->2->6->42->62->102->107->157->232->249->350->384->473...
and the trajectory for 3 starts
3->12->17->67->152->182->251->281->350->384->473...
so the sequence beginning with 3 joins A033936 after 8 steps.
