Four tuple/Modulus of differences/25/Exercise

We consider the mapping

$\Psi \colon \mathbb {N} ^{4}\longrightarrow \mathbb {N} ^{4}$

that assigns to a four-tuple ${}(a,b,c,d)$ the four-tuple

$(\vert {b-a}\vert ,\vert {c-b}\vert ,\vert {d-c}\vert ,\vert {a-d}\vert ).$

Find an example of a four-tuple ${}(a,b,c,d)$ with the property that all iterations ${}\Psi ^{n}(a,b,c,d)$ for ${}n\leq 25$ do not yield the zero-tuple. Check your result on http://www.vier-zahlen.bplaced.net/raetsel.php .
