Explore the mysterious Collatz Conjecture

What is the Collatz Conjecture?

The Collatz Conjecture is a simple mathematical sequence that follows two rules:

  • If the number is even, divide it by 2
  • If the number is odd, multiply it by 3 and add 1

No matter what positive integer you start with, the sequence will always eventually reach 1. This has been verified for all starting numbers up to 268, but remains unproven for all numbers.
