Problem

Let $i=\sqrt{-1}$ . Define a sequence of complex numbers by

$z_1=0,\quad z_{n+1}=z_{n}^2+i \text{ for } n\ge1.$ In the complex plane, how far from the origin is $z_{111}$ ?

$\text{(A) } 1\quad \text{(B) } \sqrt{2}\quad \text{(C) } \sqrt{3}\quad \text{(D) } \sqrt{110}\quad \text{(E) } \sqrt{2^{55}}$
