%N For each n, define a sequence of numbers by S(0)=n, S(i) = sum of last three digits of the concatenation S(0)S(1)S(2)...S(i-1); a(n) = smallest m such that S(m) = 11, or -1 if 11 is never reached.

%e 3->3->6->12->9->12->12->5->8->15->14->10->5->6->11, so a(3)=14.

%e 59->14->14->9->14->14->9->... never reaches 11, so a(59)=-1.
