COMMENT

The name Scrabble is a registered trademark of Hasbro, Inc. in the US and Canada and of J. W. Spear & Sons PLC elsewhere.

Is 12 the unique fixed point of Scrabble value of English word for the number n, where A113172(n) = n? 12 --> "TWELVE" --> 1+4+1+1+4+1 --> 12. For what n are A113172(n) prime? For what n are there cycles of what length for iterations n, A113172(n), A113172(A113172(n)), A113172(A113172(A113172(n))), ...? For what n does A113172(n) | n? These are key questions in general Scrabblomics. - Jonathan Vos Post (jvospost3(AT)gmail.com), Nov 08 2006
