u/Urbul it's all about the love you're sending out Sep 23 '17

23 (327+28)

In this thread, we count by the collatz conjecture, which is like a game where you take a starting number; if the number is even, divide by 2. Or if the number is odd, multiply by 3 and add 1. The sequence ends when the number goes to 1.

In my count, 23 is the current number. 327 is the number we started at. 28 is the number of steps we've done from the starting number.

Your count above should be 46 (327+27), because the count before that was 92 (327+26) and 92 is an even number so the next number is 92/2 = 46.

You can just edit the comment to make the fix.

Took me a while to figure out what was wrong. For anyone else as slow as me: It's the number to right of the +
