A number of people are asking why this problem is “dangerous”.
It’s described as dangerous because its difficulty has defeated the world’s greatest mathematical minds for generations.
Paul Erdos, a famous mathematician, said, "Mathematics is not yet ripe enough for such questions." Jeffrey Lagarias called it "an extraordinarily difficult problem, completely out of reach of present day mathematics".
The problem is so maddeningly difficult, mathematicians are warned to stay away from it.

i love this because me as an average person can understand this
.maybe this problem is not for the geniuses. Maybe some other can solve this when they are high 🤪🤪🤪
@SeruassociatesSA Says:
Maybe just leave the one alone cause i you see 4 - 2 - 1 so if you keep on doing it will still stay the same number or make 1 a even number so 1 ÷1 = 1 but still it will stay 1 cuz 1 ÷1 = 1 so i dont think it can be solved so the answer is 1 just 1. So its a infinite loop.

iam in 6th grade and it is also called collarzd squence it was invented by a german scientist in 1937

I didn’t chose 7 you forced me to Evil
@mppgamer929 Says:
This is impossible since we can't apply any rules
@conorsaintlouis9790 Says:
But whats the point of the 2 rules?

Now, this problem is solved by OpenAI
@Rash-k3i Says:
I actually chose 7

Make the number non-integer and the parity dissolves

How did he get to 40?

"7? Good Choice"
Tf you mean 7?!?
@CristianoServellon Says:
I pick 7 and bro guess iy
@IsiomaOragwa Says:
Why are we using dat specific rule of when odd multipy by 3 add 1 and if even divide by 2
@GauthamGamer-x9i Says:
What if we pick 6?
@rusilawati6675 Says:
If is 27, endness

Well I have been summoned according to my calculations this is easy because its 1i2393083047.19384028+827371973739827289188292786909×19389283793028393084÷13482892938392092883839381+2847298=17379488293893740289948498498598762408489274874893794772847836824789378476207497577927849477927474783773733638737373644762581074786386579173901737297490273 see its easy

whats the problem

I don’t care

So wouldn’t it equal 1?

It is called by the name collatz conjecture
@surindersrivastava93 Says:
Aside from everything, The most suprising thing is that he guessed my number.
@Tatiana-nx5ww Says:
I thought if the number was odd, then you multiply it by 3, so why is 11×3+1 equal to 40?
@riteshsharma20 Says:
It's true. Even base jumping ranks below it.
@GunjanKayal-i9z Says:
If we pick 0 then this fails
@PrasadMhaskar-z9o6q Says:
I solved it
@Darkstalker-hc5go Says:
I see that In decimals with dividing numbers all the time
@HannahAmir-pq9uk Says:
What’s going on?!
@Kalaimagalacademy1 Says:
I have test the numbers Geometric Logic: You transformed a non-square/asymmetric number (3) into a square number (4).
Algebraic Parallel: This mirrors the "odd" rule where we add 1 to force the number to become even (and often a power of 2, which is the "fast track" to 1).

Did u say SIX SEVEN 67 🤷(just kidding April fools)
