+# I avoided any web research on the topic and came to this conclusion:
+# Here a "magic number" is a number that equals the length of its English
+# cardinal representation. Obviously, four is magic and it's the only
+# magic number below ten. One can assume that the English cardinal
+# representation's length is bound by C * log10(N) and thus there cannot
+# be any large magic number. Given that there is no other magic number
+# below 1000, four is the only magic number and the sequence obtained by
+# repeated application of the representational length operation must
+# always lead to four.
+#
+# The task states: "You are given a positive number, $n < 10". I do not
+# see any reason to exclude zero and from the considerations above there
+# is no need to restrict N to be less than ten. Thus generalizing the
+# task to any non-negative integer.
