COMMENTS
It is conjectured that if a Reverse and Add! trajectory reaches a palindrome, it will be reached in relatively few steps, or otherwise it will never reach a palindrome.
For all n, all numbers m < A306599(n) will reach a palindrome within a(n) Reverse and Add! steps, or otherwise it is conjectured never to reach a palindrome.
