Tool to test Lychrel numbers. A Lychrel number is a natural integer which does not end the iterative process: while a number is not a palindrome, add the number to its mirror (created by reversing the order of its digits) in order to obtain a new number.

Answers to Questions
How to calculate iterations of a Lychrel number?
Add a number to the value of its mirror (the order of its digits are reversed) to obtain a new number. If this number is a new palindrome, stop, else start again with this number.
Example: 360 + 063 = 423
423 + 324 = 747
What are the Lychrel numbers?
Lychrel numbers never creates such a palindrome, the smaller is 196. It is supposed that there are an infinite number of Lychrel numbers.
Here are the first conjectured Lychrel numbers (below 1000) : 196, 295, 394, 493, 592, 689, 691, 788, 790, 879, 887, 978, 986 []
What is the the most delayed Lychrel number?
A number is delayed when there a multiple steps before becoming a palindrome. The most delayed known is 1186060307891929990 with 261 iterations.
