I just saw an xkcd comic about the collatz conjecture and proceeded to code it in MATLAB, Only At Tech

That conjecture seems rather dumb, in my opinion. If n is even, divide by the lowest, even value not equal to unity. If n is odd, make even by adding one. (multiplying by 3 is superfluous) Rinse and repeat, and BE AMAZED when it equals unity... o.O

The conjecture is whether or not it will reach unity, and exactly how long it will take.
