Passengers: 4 > 2 > 1 > 4

So that's better, I guess?

Edit: misread the prompt, below original post is wrong, I apologize!

Noe start with three or any odd number :p 3 , 7, 15, 31, 33.....

I think only 2^x has the outcome you describe, please correct me if I'm mistaken.

Odd numbers cause double plus one additional passengers to board. So a cycle starting with 3 is a bit different.

3 -> 10 -> 5 -> 16 -> 8 -> 4 -> 2 -> 1 -> 4 ...
