TRAINING IN PROCESS. DO NOT USE!!! This project multiplies odd numbers by 3 and then adds 1, and divides even numbers by 2. This is called the Collatz Conjecture. The goal is to find a whole number that doesn't end in an eternal 4, 2, 1 loop, but this project stops it once it gets to one. No mathematician has ever been able to solve this conjecture. The current number of tested numbers is 2 to the 68th power. Turbo mode recommended for bigger numbers. 6171 takes the longest (261 steps!) 8192 takes the shortest (20 steps) INTERESTING FACT: There are about (give or take 25%) 2 more even numbers than odd. Use the buttons to set your number, then press space to run. Press R to randomize the numbers. ~200 Blocks, but the CPU only uses 109. The other 91 are for the counters.
Thanks to @26wildcats for his project: The Unsolvable math problem https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/681832046/ and his description of the conjecture.
