It looks like my (lucky) guesstimate for REXX of '''20 decimal digits''' was very close to being on the nose, with the number '''319,804,831's''' Collatz sequence having '''19''' decimal digits for its maximum value ('''1,414,236,446,719,942,480'''). -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 22:56, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
