 The 196-algorithm implemented in brainfuck by Mats Linander.

 This program reads a number in the form of a string of decimal digits 
 terminated by a unix style newline (0x10) and tries to determine if the
 entered number is a lychrel number.

 A lychrel number is a number which never yields a palindrome when iteratively
 added with its own reversal. The process of iteratively reversing and adding
 until a palindromic number is obtained, is often called the 196-algorithm.
 The smallest number believed to be a lychrel is 196. Hence the name of the
 algorithm.

 This program will keep reversing and adding until a palindromic numbers is
 obtained or it runs out of memory. Given x bytes of memory, an approximately
 x/5 digits long number can be calculated. 

 Rows starting with a percent sign ('%') show what the memory is supposed
 to look like at that point of execution. The string ":::" means "...".
