Revrepfigits (reverse replicating Fibonacci-like digits): Numbers k whose reversal occurs in a sequence generated by starting with the k digits of a number and then continuing the sequence with a number that is the sum of the previous k terms.

%N Revrepfigits (reverse replicating Fibonacci-like digits): Numbers k whose reversal occurs in a sequence generated by starting with the k digits of a number and then continuing the sequence with a number that is the sum of the previous k terms.

%C Numbers ending in zero are not permitted since the zeros are dropped upon reversal. However, terms with internal zeros such as 90711 are permitted. Conjectures: 1. Sequence is infinite. 2. Revrepfigits are more rare than repfigits.

%C There are no 12-digit revrepfigits.
