15 Diginacci
A Diginacci sequence is created as follows.
• The first two terms are any positive whole numbers.
• Each of the remaining terms is the sum of the digits of the previous
two terms.
For example, starting with 5 and 8 the Diginacci sequence is
5, 8, 13, 12, 7, 10, ..
The calculations for this example are
5 +8 = 13,
8+1+3 = 12, 1+3+1+ 2 = 7, 1+2+7= 10.

a Calculate the first 28 terms of the Diginacci sequence with starting
terms 1 and 1, and then find the 2021st number in the sequence.
b Show that if both starting terms in a Diginacci sequence are each less
than one million, then its fourth and fifth terms are each less than
100.
c Show that if both starting terms in a Diginacci sequence are each less
than 100, then it has a term after which all terms are at most 20.
d Show that if both starting terms in a Diginacci sequence are each less
than 100, then it has a term after which all terms equal 18 or all terms
are less than 18.
