+Project Euler Problem 092: https://projecteuler.net/problem=92
+Square digit chains
+A number chain is created by continuously adding the square of the digits in
+a number to form a new number until it has been seen before.
+For example,
+44 → 32 → 13 → 10 → 1 → 1
+85 → 89 → 145 → 42 → 20 → 4 → 16 → 37 → 58 → 89
+Therefore any chain that arrives at 1 or 89 will become stuck in an endless loop.
+What is most amazing is that EVERY starting number will eventually arrive at 1 or 89.
+How many starting numbers below ten million will arrive at 89?
