"Mathematics is not yet ready for such problems."
~ Paul Erdős
Take any natural number n.
If n is even, divide it by 2 to get n / 2,
if n is odd multiply it by 3 and add 1 to obtain 3n + 1.
Repeat the process indefinitely.
The conjecture is that no matter what number you start with,
you will always eventually reach 1.
