"""
If we take 47, reverse and add, 47 + 74 = 121, which is palindromic.
Not all numbers produce palindromes so quickly. For example,
349 + 943 = 1292,
1292 + 2921 = 4213
4213 + 3124 = 7337
That is, 349 took three iterations to arrive at a palindrome.
Although no one has proved it yet, it is thought that some numbers, like 196,
never produce a palindrome. A number that never forms a palindrome through the
reverse and add process is called a Lychrel number. Due to the theoretical nature
of these numbers, and for the purpose of this problem, we shall assume that a number
is Lychrel until proven otherwise. In addition you are given that for every number
below ten-thousand, it will either (i) become a palindrome in less than fifty
iterations, or, (ii) no one, with all the computing power that exists, has managed
so far to map it to a palindrome. In fact, 10677 is the first number to be shown
to require over fifty iterations before producing a palindrome:
4668731596684224866951378664 (53 iterations, 28-digits).
Surprisingly, there are palindromic numbers that are themselves Lychrel numbers;
the first example is 4994.
How many Lychrel numbers are there below ten-thousand?
