| 3 | +Square digit chains |
| 4 | +A number chain is created by continuously adding the square of the digits in |
| 5 | +a number to form a new number until it has been seen before. |
| 6 | +For example, |
| 7 | +44 → 32 → 13 → 10 → 1 → 1 |
| 8 | +85 → 89 → 145 → 42 → 20 → 4 → 16 → 37 → 58 → 89 |
| 9 | +Therefore any chain that arrives at 1 or 89 will become stuck in an endless loop. |
| 10 | +What is most amazing is that EVERY starting number will eventually arrive at 1 or 89. |
| 11 | +How many starting numbers below ten million will arrive at 89? |
