Like Keith numbers but starting from n^4 digits to reach n.
Consider the digits of n^4. Take their sum and repeat the process deleting the first addend and adding the previous sum. The sequence lists the numbers that after some number of iterations reach a sum equal to n.
EXAMPLE
175^4 = 937890625:
9 + 3 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 0 + 6 + 2 + 5 = 49;
3 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 0 + 6 + 2 + 5 + 49 = 89;
7 + 8 + 9 + 0 + 6 + 2 + 5 + 49 + 89 = 175.
