Lychrel Numbers

The last day of April. Today's goal is to find all lychrel numbers below 10,000. A lychrel number is a natural number which cannot form a palindrome through the iterative process of repeatedly reversing its digits and adding the resulting numbers. One example of a non-lychrel number is 56 (100 + 001 = 101) and an example of a lychrel number is 32 (37 + 73 = 110).
