OFFSET
1,2
EXAMPLE
11123 is in the sequence because 1^4 +1^4+1^4+2^4+3^4 = 100 and 1^4 + 0^4 + 0^4 = 1.
2 is not in the sequence because 2 --> 16 --> 1297 -->8979 -->19619 -->14420 -->529 -->7202 -->2433 -->434 -->593 -->7267 -->6114 -->1554 -->1507 -->3027 -->2498 -->10929 -->13139 -->6725 -->4338 -->4514 -->1138 -->4179 -->9219 -->13139 which repeats with period 7, so never reaches 1.
