Today’s Challenge

There are 2 rules to consider when calculating the NEXT number in our special sequence:
 if it’s EVEN, halve it
 if it’s ODD, add 1

For example, if starting at 50, the sequence would be:
 50    25    26    13    14    7    8    4    2    1

From 50, it takes 9 steps to eventually get down to 1.

Following the above rules, which starting number between 50 and 100 creates the most number of steps, 13 in all, when eventually arriving at 1?
