A061563 Start with n; add to itself with digits reversed; if palindrome, stop; otherwise repeat; a(n) gives palindrome at which it stops, or -1 if no palindrome is ever reached. 9

%N Start with n; add to itself with digits reversed; if palindrome, stop; otherwise repeat; a(n) gives palindrome at which it stops, or -1 if no palindrome is ever reached.

%C It is believed that n = 196 is the smallest integer which never reaches a palindrome.

%e 19 -> 19 + 91 = 110 -> 110 + 011 = 121, so a(19) = 121.
