%N Numbers whose totient-trajectory can be partitioned into two sets with the same sum.

%C The "totient-trajectory" of a number m is the sequence obtained by starting with m and repeatedly applying the map x -> phi(x) (cf. A000010) until reaching 1.

%C Because all totient-trajectories contain only even numbers apart from the final 1 and (perhaps) the initial term ending in 1, only odd numbers will be in the sequence.

%C Conjecture: No totient-trajectory can be partitioned into an odd number of sets with the same sum.

%C Observation: for the first 1000 terms, numbers ending in 5 are more than twice as frequent as those ending in any other number.

%e 17 is in the sequence because its totient-trajectory is {17,16,8,4,2,1}, which can be partitioned into 17+4+2+1 = 16+8.
