The 3n+1 Game

AKA: a practical exhaustive proof of the Collatz conjecture.

That sounds unpleasant, but the premise is simple!

Take the number of the pony above you. If it’s even, divide it by two:

84 —> 42

2728473912 —> 1364236956

If it’s odd, multiply it by 3 and add 1:

5 —> 16 (5*3+1)

167 —> 502

If the number above is 1, choose a new number! Use random.org if you’re indecisive.

I’ll start:

27

I read a book on this. If you start at 27 it takes 111 steps to reach 1! :P

That’s why I started with 27. ;)

62

I was already missing before the night I left, Me and my shadow and my regrets, Who am I? Invisible
