%N A060630 For n > 9 let f(n) be formed by writing down the sums of every pair of
consecutive digits of n: e.g. f(3469)=71015 because 3+4=7,4+6=10,
6+9=15; let f(n)=0 if n is a single digit. Sequence gives smallest
number requiring n iterations to reach zero.
%C A060630 24-th and 26-th terms are unknown, but a(25)=9539, a(27)=4589 and a(28)=5960.
