Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

FORMULA
After 1 step enters a cycle of length 207.
It appears that there is a unique cycle of length 207 for the reverse-and-add-5 problem. Klaus Brockhaus has done an extensive search without finding any further cycle of length 207. There are many cycles of lengths 36 and 756. See A118878.
