COMMENT

In order to extend this there is the problem that there are small numbers (276, 552, etc.) for which it is not presently known if they cycle. I propose that we assume these do not cycle, but mark the records beyond where this becomes an issue as conjectural only.

EXAMPLE

138 has a transient of length 177 (see Guy's book).
