well, it doesn't. so, meh.I felt like it meant 1 point / one same number and not just the value (1)
uh, I hate to break it to you, but 7 is an odd number. 3(7)+1=22, then 22/2=11, 34, 17, 52, 26, 13, 40, 20, 10, 5, 16, 4, 2, 1.and the fact that the value of 2 became 7 causes the inability for it to become a whole number again
7/2=3.5 3.5*3=10.5+1=11.5 and dividing it further would cause it to become 5.75 (then times three add one yadda yadda)
also, should've pointed this out earlier, but...
this doesn't make sense because 4/2 results in 2, an even number. so you divide it by 2, and not multiply by 3 and then add 1.(4/2)*3+1=7
so... what were you trying to prove?
okay, sorry for calling it reversibleAlso wtf you mean reversible I was only moving forward with each calculation? The one with 6 was one example the one with 2 was to show that it couldn't reach 6(?) I wasn't moving backwards.
but still, 2 doesn't reach 6, so what? the conjecture was asking for proof that all positive integers eventually converge to the integer 1. it doesn't matter whether a number passes through or doesn't pass through another number. it just has to reach 1.
