For example, start with 8 and 9. Adding them gives you 17. Keep just the 7, which is in the ones place. Now you have 8-9-7. Add the last two numbers, the 9 and the 7. That gives 16; just keep the 6, then you have 8-9-7-6. Keep going, adding the last two numbers in the series each time, keeping only the digit in the ones place. Do this until you get 8 and 9 again. Then the loop starts all over. How many numbers are in the 8-9 loop before it repeats?
What happens with 2 and 6?
Does the order of the numbers you choose make a difference?
