COMMENTS
Let T(S,Q) be the sequence obtained by starting with S and repeatedly reversing the digits and adding Q to get the next term. This is T(100103,2). 100103 is the first S for which T(S,2) reaches a cycle of length 900. The cycle is simply the first 900 terms, which then repeat. A full period is given in the table.
