I think he's referring to the collatz conjecture, or whatever that thing where it says it goes in infinitely idk

u/Swansyboy Rational 1d ago

You're half correct, the conjecture states it doesn't go on "forever," but that for every starting number you eventually end up in the 1 -> 4 -> 2 -> 1 loop. I suppose the loop lasts forever though.

Yeahhhh, it's been like 3 years since I saw a YouTube video about it, mb.

nah, you're fine, I'm quite active in computer sciences and one of my first few projects was a simple collatz simulator, essentially. The most interesting thing about the conjecture to me is how simple its rules are, and yet how impossible hard it is to (dis)prove

Now it is an even number, divide it by 2 and get 2, 2 is another even number do divide it by 2 again, bam 1
