Well, /sci/? Is it truly unsolvable?

I solved it last week.
>If even, 50% chance to end on even
>If odd, 100% chance to end on even
>If even, recursively, X% chance to end on odd
>X < 33%
>Odd number grows at most by 333%
>Even number decreases, on average, by at least 75%
>333%/75% < 100%
>Implying numbers on average decrease
>Ergo, all numbers end at 1, with the sequence 4,2,1
QED. Where's my nobel laureate? This proof if copyright Anonymous. You must cite 4chan.

Nobel didn't care for math.

Good enough for Markov chains, good enough for Collatz.

What does solving this problem accomplish? Will it solve other problems?

It's 333%, you gotta divide by 100 bro.
>333%/75% < 100
>100/100 < 1

Almost all of analytic number theory is useless. It's simply mental masturbation for mathematicians.

Quoted By:

>Paul Erd?s said about the Collatz conjecture: "Mathematics may not be ready for such problems."[8] He also offered US$500 for its solution.[9] Jeffrey Lagarias stated in 2010 that the Collatz conjecture "is an extraordinarily difficult problem, completely out of reach of present day mathematics."
Jeez, it's just a coincidence bro
