Searching for Lychrel numbers

If you reverse 56 to make 65 and add them together, you get 121—a palindromic number.By repeating this process—for example, 57 → 57 + 75 = 132 → 132 + 231 = 363—it becomes a palindromic number in two steps; 89 takes 24 steps, and 10911 takes 55 steps to become a palindromic number. Lychrel numbers are those that never become palindromic, no matter how many times you repeat the process.196 is the smallest candidate.
