EXAMPLE
5 is present, because if we start iterating A049820 from it as: A049820(5) = 3, A049820(3) = 1, A049820(1) = 0, we get a path of length 3 to reach zero, thus A155043(5) = 3. On the other hand, if we start from 6, the path is one step shorter: A049820(6) = 2, A049820(2) = 0 [i.e., A155043(6) = 2], thus there exists a number larger than 5 which results a shorter path to zero.
