Note: the benchmark values are not random; they are the values with the largest stopping time in their range; citing Wikipedia:
The starting value having the largest total stopping time while being
less than 10 is 9, which has 19 steps,
(...)
less than 10^5 is 77031, which has 350 steps,
(...)
less than 10^10 is 9780657630, which has 1132 steps,
Doubles as a straightforward example.
