too bad all it will take for it to be a driver again ( okay 2^3 is a guide technically) is gaining a 5 or a 3. this is a better link potentially if you don't want to look up the whole sequence and just see the last line.

23 without a factor of 5 or 3 is not a guide. It will be stable until the power of two changes.

http://www.rechenkraft.net/aliquot/analysis.html list it as a class 3 guide it may not class as a driver though.

In SM_88's link, I followed Clifford Stern's definition:

Quote:
 A guide consists of $2^a$ ($a \gt 0$) along with a subset of the prime factors of $\sigma(2^a)$.
I interpreted it in the following way, which I believe to be at least perfectly reasonable if really just a question of meaningless semantics.

Quote:
 This motivates the following definition: a number of the form 2^b \cdot v, where v divides \sigma(2^b), is called a guide. (Note that when v=1, the guide is just the power of 2.)
Actually, technically by your statement the down"driver" wouldn't be considered a guide. I think that is certainly enough to justify the empty powers of two as guides also...

Now, don't be sad, from how the graph looks like, we may find the first cycle in the history of man, with a period 7000 or so...
