Greetings, Balviboy. I do not understand what you are referring to. Are you creating a business?
3x+1 update
Sort:
3x+1 or colatzs conjecture or a bunch of other names is a math problem which has stumped mathematicians for years. A company has set up a prize of 120 million yen (not 70 my bad) which is near to 1 million dollars.
I have been attempting to solve this because I have a requirement of 1 million dollars.
I’m poor

I believe I've heard of it before, I remember it being part of the Millennium Prize Problems I believe.
I hope you are successful in your attempt.
Well I have asked those more proficient than me in mathematics and my solution will be difficult to implant :-(

I do advanced middle school algebra how is this hard? Just tell me what x is or i could factor it and get an answer i believe
It’s a nickname. The actually problem is a function where if you have an even number, you divide by 2 and if you have off you times by 3 and add 1.
The conjecture is that all numbers will end in a 4,2,1 loop

My thoughts:
every time you do the odd function (3x+1), it is guaranteed to give you an even number. You can never do the odd twice in a row.
and since every odd is followed by an even, but not every even by an odd, the evens will logically be more common. And the evens shrink the number closer to 4. Therefore, you would have to find a new loop, otherwise all numbers would slowly but surely tend to 4
Ah yes, but sometimes it goes odd even odd even odd even, which increases it. And: odd even even odd even even also increases. This is very complex
New pfp, Bun?
Good luck man, it is one of the hardest questions in it's specialization of math, keep us updated on your progress.
Never mind, but odd even odd even even is less.
#16 wait, matching exist profile pics?
You must be my arch rival or smth lol
That’s right, the 70 million yen or something like that is possibly in my grasp (the company is not required to pay, so I might only get famous not wealthy).
