Problem 42836. Juggler sequence revisited
This problem is related to Problem 42835.
For any starting positive integer, a(1) = x, the Juggler sequence is defined by:
a(i+1) = floor(a(i)^0.5) , for even a(i).
a(i+1) = floor(a(i)^1.5) , for odd a(i).
When a Juggler sequence reaches 1, all subsequent elements will also be 1s.
Let l(x) be the number of Juggler sequence iterations required to reach 1 with a starting value of x.
Let h(x) be the maximum value of a Juggler sequence with a starting value of x.
Given x, return l(x) and h(x).
Example:
x = 3
l = 6
h = 36
