Question 74

A positive integer is written on the board. Petya is allowed to replace the number on the board with the sum of the squares of its digits. We call a number *interesting* if Petya can't obtain $1$ from it using a finite number of such operations.
Prove that there exist infinitely many interesting numbers.
