For instance:
In the case of 11 base 7:
11 base 7 = 14
*1^2 + 4^2 = 17*
17 base 7 = 23
2^2 + 3^2 = 13
13 base 7 = 16
1^2 + 6^2 = 37
37 base 7 = 52
5^2 + 2^2 = 29
29 base 7 = 41
*4^2 + 1^2 = 17*
.....

How can we check for a cycle in this case? This is a cycle of 4 numbers..
Can you please help in an algorithm to check for a cycle in n numbers..
If i use recursion i wont be able to check the cycle rite?

2 conditions to be checked:
1. cycle of n numbers
2. if sum is 1

thanks,
Maverick
