IMPORTANT! READ INSTRUCTIONS: After clicking the green flag, pressing any button will create a text bar for you to put in your input. The project will then show you the sequence. number of steps in sequence, and highest number in sequence. After this, press the green flag to restart the project. Clicking the backdrop will toggle effects. For more information on the Collatz Conjecture, read notes and credits. NOTE: Adding letters will glitch the system, and the number zero will make all variables say error
The Collatz conjecture is among the most famous unsolved math problems. To do it, you pick any number. If it's odd, multiply by 3 and add 1. If it's even, divide by 2. If you repeat this process, the number will eventually create an endless cycle of 4, 2, 1. Here is an example for 42: 42, 21, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1, 4, 2, 1, etc. Mathematicians have tested 295,147,905,179,352,825,859 numbers, but all of them end up back in the 4, 2, 1 sequence. Can you find a number that doesn't follow this conjecture?
