A Conversation for The 3n+1 Conjecture - Proof Needed!

help please

Post 1

If the universe is infinite, then im "a" center, 21+4^1+8+9=42

can any odd number times 3 plus 1 equal on odd number? this is really important to me, it might help me solve the conjecture. or in other words (well symbols)


2n-1*3+1=2n-1?


help please

You mean (2n-1)*3+1=2m-1?

If the universe is infinite, then im "a" center, 21+4^1+8+9=42

so is there any numbers that follow that rule?

No, of course not:

3n - 1/2 = m

Obviously this cannot be true for any integers n and m.

darn, that really sucks, i needed that so that my equation would work, now i need to go to plan b which is going to be bloody hard, it will still have a equation which i will need to make up some time, its just going to be a lot lot longer and harder....damn
